Just A Car

Lyrics

Just A Car © 2005 Martha Ann Brooks (BMI) It’s just a car Worn out and gray 1989 Chevrolet Smells of tobacco Smells of beer 89 was a good year For that old car In the front seat with my Dad Best sermons I ever had Sunday mornings Lessons learned Stories told Pages turned In that old car Chorus: In anybody else’s eyes It probably seems real ordinary For me it is a lifeline To the best part of my history All too soon the days of ridin With Dad disappeared When I’m drivin I can feel him Sittin right there close beside me Still hear his words of wisdom As he tries to help and guide me So I keep hangin on To that old car. Daddy died some years ago Cancer got him It took him slow I got the Chevy Two sets of keys Four good tires And memories With that old car It’s just a car Made out of steel Not flesh and blood It cannot feel She’s running bad Should let her go Sell it now then will I know It’s just a car (Repeat Chorus) (Tag) It’s just a car
