| Homecoming parade, you were the queen
|
| I was riding right behind you with the rest of the team
|
| Saw my ring on your finger as you waved to the crowd
|
| I didn’t know a second stringer could ever be so proud
|
| The car in front of me was carrying what i loved more than anything
|
| My sweetest dream was in the car in front of me
|
| On Wednesday nights, we’d meet at church
|
| You’d bring the kids, and I’d come straight from work
|
| Going home I’d read their lips through the window of your van
|
| As they sang Jesus loves me, I thought God I’m a lucky man
|
| The car in front of me was carrying what i loved more than anything
|
| My sweetest dream was in the car in front of me
|
| Even after what the doctor said
|
| You were strong and you believed
|
| And you held us all together through one more spring
|
| Their little hands held on to mine
|
| As we sat in that backseat with tears in our eyes
|
| A long line of headlights
|
| Strangers stopped along the road
|
| No Monday wasn’t meant for wearing Sunday clothes
|
| The car in front of me was carrying what I loved more than anything
|
| Oh my sweetest dream was in the car in front of me |
