I’m driving my blue car baby Down from the mountain so high I’m driving my blue car baby Down from the mountain so high I’m driving my blue car baby Coming down and gonna say goodbye
The sunrise is a miracle But it can’t hold a candle to you The sunrise is a miracle But it can’t hold a candle to you Do you remember them rides in my blue car Back when it was brand new
Well it’s a good old car But the clutch is a little loose And the brakes are screaming A song called what’s the use But it’s good for one more trip One more trip to you
Oh the lightning’s meant to strike The tall pine trees And the birds are meant to cry And wheel in the breeze Ah But some things baby I guess they just ain’t meant to be
When I get back up on the mountain I’ll close my door against the wind When I get back up on the mountain I’ll close my door against the wind I’ll park my old blue car I might fall down the mountain But I will never fall in love (with you) again
