    THAT CAR

I just got out of high school;  that car was fast and sleek.
Took real good care of it;  I waxed it every week.
It helped me find my baby;  she loved to go for rides.
Cruising down the highway;  hugging her close by my side.
We drove off in her white dress;  cans clanging from behind.
A honeymoon on cruise control;  got Georgia on my mind.
Soon, kids piled in the back seat;  food and wrappers on the floor.
That car got harder to maintain;  with less time than before.

But, I love that car a lot.
When I push the pedal, I’m peelin’ rubber.
Hey, it’s the only car I’ve got.
Ain’t no way I’d trade her for no other…
‘cause, I love that car a lot.  Yeah, I love that car a lot.

Well, the kids are grown and married;   that car got kind of dusty.
Parts of it are broken;  it’s getting kind of rusty.
It needs a couple tires;  the battery is weak.
Can’t see out of the windows;  they’re blurry and they’re streaked.
But, it’s suited me just fine;  for the abuse it’s had to take.
We all piled in for road trips:  each year on Easter break.
It’s carried bats and balls for games;  and bushes for the lawn.
So often it would run all day;  from early in the dawn.

And, I love that car a lot.
Now when I push the pedal, it’s kind of stubborn.
But, it’s the only car I’ve got.
Ain’t no way I’d trade her for no other…
‘cause, I love that car a lot.  Yeah, I love that car a lot.

Some folks may need a new look, a bright shiny SUV.
But my car is still reliable…and that’s good enough for me.

‘Cause, I love that car a lot.
Now when I push the pedal, it’s kind of stubborn.
Hey, it’s the only car I’ve got.
Ain’t no way I’d trade her for no other…
‘cause, I love that car a lot.  Yeah, I still love that car a lot.
