67, Cherry Red |
Same fucking payphone |
I’m calling north to Mom to ask |
What year the Mustang is |
And when she answers, I, I hear your voice, Dad |
«I'm coming home soon |
Could I borrow cash to square some debts? |
I know I sound desperate, but I swear to god, Ma |
I’ll pay you back» |
I bought myself a burner; |
programmed your number in |
Took an ad in the paper: |
«Are there grease stains on your skin? |
Do the songs of young love |
Hum like an engine in your head? |
I got what you need |
‘67, Cherry Red» |
I’ve never been a man’s man |
I ain’t much for cars and I’m sick of fate |
I’m done with praying |
But if you hear me, Dad, I’ll keep her safe |
I keep having flashbacks |
I see you at dusk, in the summer, in the driveway |
Smiling at everything, covered in engine grease |
A look in your eye I can’t explain |
I bought myself a burner; |
programmed your number in |
Took an ad in the paper: |
«Are there grease stains on your skin? |
Do the songs of young love hum |
Like an engine in your head? |
I got what you need |
‘67, Cherry Red» |
This guy named Robert calls |
And said he used to have that car at 23 |
Last year his wife passed on |
He’s got memories of love in the backseat |
He takes the wheel and grins |
He gets the same look in his eyes you always did |
He can’t afford what I want for it |
But says it was nice to see a car like this, again |
But I know he’ll love her the way that you did |
And I just need enough scratch |
To buy a bus ticket |
Mail some to The Thunderbird |
And pay my mom back |
I bought myself a burner; |
programmed your number in |
Took an ad in the paper: |
«Are there grease stains on your skin? |
Do the songs of young love hum |
Like an engine in your head? |
I got what you need |
‘67, Cherry Red» |
