she was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress
summer tanned pretty little perfect mess
with a story that could only be anybody’s guess
and i was thinking that i probably didn’t stand a chance
but i rolled up my sleeves walked up and i said
hey i know i don’t know you but i’d kinda like a shot
she said i saw you coming over i already thought it over
and okay so now what
and i said well i got a car she said there’s something
at least it’s a start i said it’s better than nothing
i ain’t in no hurry but i’m ready when you are
and she said where do you think all this is going
i said there ain’t no way of knowing
i guess i hadn’t thought it through that far
but i got a car
so we let the wheels turn and the windows down
we let ourselves go all the way through town
she never said stop and i never asked her why
we drove into the night when outta nowhere
she said i’d give anything to never go back there
and i kinda wish this day would never end
she said i could use a change but i don’t even know where to begin
and i said well i got a car she said there’s something
at least it’s a start i said it’s better than nothing
i ain’t in no hurry but i’m ready when you are
and she said where do you think all this is going
i said there ain’t no way of knowing
i really hadn’t thought it through that far
i can’t promise you the moon and stars
but i got a car
we got lost in the miles lost track of the days
’til we finally found a stopping place
when the doctor said you know what’s on the way
and we found ourselves in a little white house
one sunday morning rain pouring down
she said i think it’s time but all the lines are out
4
and her eyes teared up and she said what are we gonna do now
and i said well i got a car she said there’s something
you think it’ll start i said it’s already running
got your things in the back and i’m ready when you are
she said are you sure it’ll get us where we’re going
i said if there’s one thing i know girl it’s gotten us this far
and i don’t mean to hurry but i’m ready when you are
