When She Sold Her Old Ford Mustang

 

Y’all need some more coffee? I got some fresh

 

That car was my dream; had it since I was twenty

When I got married it was our honeymoon ride

When I got divorced it was all I had

After me and my baby got away from the beatings

 

Your breakfast okay? We got a new cook

 

We sometimes had to live in it, y’know?

So like I had to tell my son I’m selling it

I promised it to him for his graduation

That car was our life. But it ain’t safe

 

Did I tell you we got a new cook? He’s pretty good

 

I’m been waitin’ tables in this old cafĂ© for years

Watchin’ the world go by on th’ highway
