about

Meh, it's just a car.

lyrics

This Old Car

This old car, it's run real far,
so many places it has seen.
From empathetic junkies in Worcester,
to sweet transvestites in New Orleans.

And now it’s time to realize, it’s turning real slow.
You can still be satisfied by parking it at home

The seats are lumpy and the oil is thick,
it grinds when it shifts, but it goes.
The paint has peeled and the lights have dimmed,
but it still got that old mojo.

Even so it’s sacrifice is one that can’t be weighed,
there's a time to go, a time to say no and a time to be saved.

And all of these years, and all of the miles,
and all of the things we have done;
are held in my heart, locked in my soul,
they will never be gone, never be gone.

This old car, it’s run real far,
so many things it has seen.
Ghosts and rednecks and drunks and freaks
and everything in between…
