The Car Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Carson

Boy, I'd love to have that car 

I whispered to my dad 

I've always heard 

A Mustang flies 

We could fix it up 

And make it new again 

All it needs 

Is just a little time 

Dad is hardly ever home 

Since Momma passed away 

He's always 

Workin' overtime 

I know that he cannot afford 

To buy that car 

Even though 

He'd love to make it mine 

It's not the car that I'm needin' 

Just the chance to be with him 

I know that once these days roll past us 

They will never come again 

So little time 

And we spend way too much apart 

There would always be a part of us 

Together in that car 

Finally, let go of that dream 

And the time 

We could have shared 

It was a distant memory 

Until last fall a call came 

Sayin' Dad was gone 

Could I come quick 

He left a note for me 

Buried Dad right next to Mom 

Up on Crowley's Ridge 

There I said 

My last goodbye 

I opened up the note 

And found a set of keys 

"Here's your car, son 

I hope it flies" 

It's not the car that you're needin' 

But it's my chance to be with you 

I hope you understand I always did 

The best that I could do 

So little time 

And we spent way too much apart 

And there will always be a part of us 

Together in that car 

And there will always be a part of us 

Together in that car
