Intro D A/D G/D D A/D G9
Verse
Boy I'd love to have that car, I whispered to my Dad
I always heard a Mustang flies
We could fix it up, and make it new again
All it needs, is just a little time
Daddy's hardly ever home, since Mama passed away
He's always workin' over-time
I know that he can not afford to buy that car
Even though, he love to make it mine
Chorus
It's not the car that I'm needin'
Just the chance to be with him
I know that once these days roll past us
They will never come again
So little time, we spent way too much apart
There would always be a part of us
Together in that car
Verse
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
Sayin' Dad was gone, could I come quick
He left a note for me
We buried Dad right next to Mom
Up on Crowley's Ridge
There I said my last goodbye
I opened up note and found a set of keys
Here's you car son, I hope it flies
Chorus
It's not the car that you're needin'
But it's my chance to be with you
I hope you understand I always did
The best that I could do
So little time, and we spent way too much apart
Now there will always be a part of us
Together in that car
There will always be a part of us together in that car
