Текст песни The Car - Michael Ray , 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 working 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 needing
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

I finally let go of that dream and the time we could have shared
It was a distant memory
Until last fall a call came saying Dad was gone
Could I come quick; he left a note for me
Buried Dad right next to Mom up on Crowley's Ridge
And 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 needing
But just the chance to be with him
I hope you understand I always did
The best that I could do
So little time and we spent way too much apart
An' there will always be a part of us together in that car
There will always be a part of us together in that car
