She weren't much to look at, she weren't much to ride |
|
She was missing a window on her passenger side |
|
The floorboard was patched up with paper and tar |
|
But I really was something in my old yellow car |
|
An American boy with his hands on the wheel |
|
Of a dream that was made of American steel |
|
Though the seats had the smell of a nickel cigar |
|
I really was something in my old yellow car |
|
Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel |
|
There's a rusty old shell of an automobile |
|
And if engines could run on desires alone |
|
That old yellow car would be driving me home |
|
There's the seat where poor Billy threw up on his date |
|
And where Larry and Sandy could no longer wait |
|
There was no road too winding and nowhere too far |
|
With two bucks of gas and my old yellow car |
|
Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel |
|
Thee's a rusty old shell of an automobile |
|
And if engines could run on desires alone |
|
That old yellow car would be driving me home |
|
Take a look at me now throwing money around |
|
I'm paying somebody to drive me downtown |
|
Got a Mercedes Benz with a TV and bar |
|
And God I wish I was driving my old yellow car |
|
God I wish I was driving my old yellow car |
