Miles On The Car Lyrics - The Dead Sailor Girls

I don't care what you do 

Stay out all night good for you 

Go down to the bar go out to the beach 

Far away from the wide world's reach 

While I'm rockin the baby in the rockin chair 

I want to kill my imagination with a bottle of beer 

I know you're putting miles on the car 

With your new girlfriend and my guitar 

It wasn't so very long ago 

We said we'd settle down, have our babies in a row 

We'd name them all for flowers and watch them grow 

But now I'm rockin the baby in the rockin chair 

I want to kill my imagination with a bottle of beer 

I know you're putting miles on the car 

With your new girlfriend and my guitar 

But once we could walk through fire 

Once we could breathe underwater 

We could find buried treasure 

We could cross the world in a single stroke 

We could fix everything that we ever broke 

We could make true all the lies we said 

And we could bring back all the love that was dead 

If I had the car I'd put the kids in the back seat 

I'd take them out and we'd get something to eat 

And they'd fall asleep to the car radio 

And I'd just keep on driving, I'd go and I'd go 

And eventually we'd go over a crest 

And they'd be a little village and we'd be the guest 

They'd say, Come on in! Make brand new start! 

Have some brand new friends and heal your heart 

But I'm rockin the baby in the rockin chair 

I want to kill my imagination with a bottle of beer 

I know you're putting miles on the car 

With your new girlfriends and my guitar
