about

Every good songwriter has a song about a car, so I thought I’d better write one. I never was into cars.

lyrics

Never wanted a fancy car
One that runs will do
Didn’t need it to get that far
Just to get to you
And you said if I made it
We would never part
Never wanted a fancy car
Or a broken heart

Took a job in the local store
when you moved away
I know you thought that I was worth more
than that job could pay
bought a new coat on Sunday
thought I looked real smart
Never wanted a fancy car
Or a broken heart

and I drove on a different kind of road
and we parted ways
but I know it’s just a story I have told
but I wanted to tell it my own way

Never made to your new home
Couldn’t get that far
Wore my new coat to keep me warm
Fitting the tow bar
You took the guy from your new class
I hear he looked real smart
Never wanted a fancy car
Or a broken heart

Never wanted a fancy car
Or a broken heart
