Lyrics: Charles Gallant Burg
Music: Charles Gallant Burg
See, I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger seat
Doing fifty 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 you said you heard my last EP
You kinda liked it
But you thought it did not sound like me
But the car is gone and we both left town
But I got this funny feeling with me now
We′ll ride it again somehow, ooh
So I was speeding up 11 with you sitting next to me
Sipping Bailey's from that Colorado coffee cup
And then we turned past the teahouse
From there, I read your poetry
And you looked at me and said
That you miss your college bed
Well, ain't this fine to see
You reminiscing 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 the car is gone and we both left 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 they said it made it on 75, you see
And on the phone before the crash
You said you loved 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, and I′m sitting in some café
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 the road sitting next to you
(You said our love is a fixer-upper
Nееdѕ nеw раіnt tо hіdе thе nісkѕ
Кеер іt іn ѕесоnd gеаr tо ѕtаrt
Аnd drіvе іt ѕlоw whеn thе rоаd іѕ ѕlісk
Ѕtееr сlеаr оf thе hіghwау
Аnd mауbе оnе mоrе ѕummеr іt’ll lаѕt
Yеѕ mауbе оnе mоrе ѕummеr
Wе саn bе уоung аnd drіvе іt fаѕt)
But ooh, the car is gone and we both left town
But I got this funny feeling with me now (Oh yeah, woo)
