Songs About / On: CAR

i woke up in new york city
from my sleep behind the wheel
caught a train to the kipsey
and time stood still

she wrote me a letter from san diego
to qualify her luck
these flights connect through arizona
but i think i'll stay stuck

so here i am
here i am
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i've never been so lost
i've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
i woke up in a car
i woke up in a car

i met a girl who kept tattoos for homes
that she had loved
if i were her i'd paint my body
until all my skin was gone

she wrote me a letter as we passed through rockford
she said she won't forget
maybe i do maybe i don't
but i know i haven't yet

so here i am
here i am
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i've never been so lost
i've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
i woke up in a car
i woke up in a car

and maybe i could live forever
if that ever i had known
that you'd be waiting there whenever i'm alone

but here i am
well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i've never been so lost
i've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys

well i woke up in a car
i traced a way to fall
so i could see the mississippi on her knees
i've never been so lost
i've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
i woke up in a car

The land of race car ya-yas.
The land where you can't change lanes.
The land where large, fuzzy dice
Still hang proudly
Like testicles from rear-view mirrors.

You’re a precious stone, you’re out on your own
You know everyone in the world, but you feel alone
Daddy won’t let you weep
Daddy won’t let you ache
Daddy gives you as much as you can take
A-ha, sha-la, a-ha, sha-la
Daddy’s gonna pay for your crashed car read more »

(anita cochran)

It started at an early age, I guess around 13,
I’d hear those engines on the street and my how they would scream.
They’d pull into the driveway and I would run and hide,
I’d overhear my brothers friends, they’d talk about their rides.
Now momma always told me, don’t hang around those boys;
They’ll get you into trouble with the cars that make the noise,
But I had this deep desire, that momma never knew.
Girls like fast cars too. read more »

Just 18 and the money’s short
A victim of public transport
Made her smile with his best approach
And he checked her out and he checked his watch
Saying alright the time is short
I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you
The time is tide and I feel alright
So let’s make a little love before my ship goes down
You know I’ve to go when the bus comes ’round read more »

You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it’s fun
If you can get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
Just depends on what kind of car you are read more »
