I had a '69 Impala I bought it from my Dad I gave him three hundred dollars It gave me all it had All after all that old car went through You'd think I'd still have you
It always bought us home alright It knew every curve in the road It gave us shelter from the night When we had no gas to go We always found plenty to do When you loved me and I loved you
The other day I seen that car In a heap of rust by the old man's barn I hadn't thought of it in years But you still cross my mind And all that we left behind And we were leaving souvenirs
Now the car won't start And I had to pry the door Among the salvage parts Up on the dashboard There was a red ribbon on your hair And I remember the night that you put it there
The other day I seen that car In a heap of rust by the old man's barn I hadn't thought of it in years But you still cross my mind And all that we left behind And we were leaving souvenirs When we were leaving souvenirs.
