Lyrics - The Car by Carson Jeff

Boy
I'd like to have that car
I whispered to my dad
We could fix it up and make it new again
All it needs is just a little time
My daddy's hardly ever home
Since
Mama passed away
He's always workin' over-time
I know he cannot afford to buy that car
Eventhough he'd love to make it mine
It's not the car that
I'm needin'
Just the chance to be with him
I know that once these days grow passed us
They will never come again
So little time.
We spent so much apart
There could always be a part of us
Together in that car
We finally let go of that dream
And the time we could have shared
It was a distant memory
Until last fall a call came
Sayin'
Dad was gone, could come quick
He left a note for me
They buried
Dad right next to
Mom
Up on
Colby's
Ridge
There
I said my last good-bye
I opened up the note and found a set of keys
Here's you car son,
I hope it flys
It's not the car that you're needin'
But the chance to be with you
I hope you understand
I always did
The best that
I could do
So little time.
We spent way too much apart
And there will always be a part of us
Together in that car
