DAD CAR
Perfect Colorado blonde in a Cabriolet
Top down, pony tail, BroadwayI’m driving this ’87 Aries’
She won’t even look my way
But that can’t chase this buzz away
Dad car, driving my dad car
Dad car, got a date in my dad car
Got a bashed-in fender and an oil leak
Blue book value is mighty weak
Chassis is rusty and the body’s beat
I’m so cheap but she thinks it’s sweet
She likes to see me drive up in my dad car
Now the stock market’s down
But it don’t make me cry
I don’t wanna be no rich guy You say wages are low
And real estate’s high?
I don’t care as long as she’ll ride in my dad car
She loves my dad car
