My Old Cars Lyrics

every one i ever owned
'cept the one i'm drivin' now
been stripped down to the bare bone at
sam's salvage town
there's a mustang and a gto
bloody seats and caved in grill
there's a scar on my forehead
for every busted windshield

chorus:
my old cars
they haunt me still
cuz i drove 'em every one over the edge
it's a wonder i wasn't killed
my old cars
rise up from the weeds
i wish to hell and back was far enough to outrun
your memory
i can drive by that junkyard
and count the times you broke my heart
watch a jack leg with a socket wrench
drinkin' beer and yankin' parts
i can count these broken bones cuz
broken bones'll heal
but i can't stand to count the times you said our love
ain't no big deal

repeat chorus

last week i bought a 4-4-2
she's black as a ace of spades
i sold my half of grandpa's land
bet he's rollin' in his grave
my friends say i'll get over you but
my friends they just don't know
i'm gonna take her out on 41
and see how fast she'll go

repeat chorus
