Текст песни 97 Avalon - Charlie Burg

See I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger's seat
Doing 50 in my 97 Avalon
And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary
You looked at me and said
That your dad's been depressed
"Can we change this CD?", you said
"Something a little more soulful"
I changed it and then you said
You heard my last EP
You kinda liked it
But you thought it did not sound like me

But ooh, the car is gone
And we both left town
But I got this funny feeling with me now
We'll ride it again somehow

So I was speedin' up Eleven with you sittin' next to me
Sipping Bailey's from that Colorado coffee cup
And then we turned past the tea house where Mary read her poetry
And you looked at me and said
That you miss your college bed
Well ain't this fine to see?
You reminiscin'
As if I was the one who said
"No, this feeling ain't rooted in reality"
And then you said, "Step on it"
And that's the last thing you ever said to me

But ooh, the car is gone
And we'll both leave home
But I got this funny feeling in my bones
We'll ride it again before you go

So it was summer, maybe winter
Can't remember, I couldn't see
Out the window of our 97 Avalon
See it's been months since this engine made it on 75, you see
And on the phone before the crash
You said you love me but you can't

And you see you think if you say it enough times aloud
You'll start to believe it
But I've got no idea now
And I'm sittin' in some cafe
All caught up about something I can't change
And I'm sipping that tea
And my memory renews
And all of a sudden I'm on Woodward sittin' next to you

You said our love is a fixer upper
Needs new paint to hide the nicks
Keep it in second gear to start
And drive it slow when the road is slick
Steer clear of the highway
And maybe one more summer it'll last
Yes maybe one more summer
We can be young and drive it fast

But ooh the car is gone
And we both left town
But I got this funny feeling with me now
