Boy I'd like to have that car

I whispered to my dad

We could fix it up and make it new again

All it needs is just a little time



My daddy's hardly ever home

Since Mama passed away

He's always workin' over-time

I know he cannot afford to buy that car

Eventhough he'd love to make it mine



It's not the car that I'm needin'

Just the chance to be with him

I know that once these days grow passed us

They will never come again

So little time. We spent so much apart

There could always be a part of us

Together in that car



We finally let go of that dream

And the time we could have shared

It was a distant memory

Until last fall a call came

Sayin' Dad was gone, could come quick

He left a note for me



They buried Dad right next to Mom

Up on Colby's Ridge

There I said my last good-bye

I opened up the note and found a set of keys

Here's you car son, I hope it flys



It's not the car that you're needin'

But the chance to be with you

I hope you understand I always did

The best that I could do

So little time. We spent way too much apart

And there will always be a part of us

Together in that car
