Intro, D G A Em
D G
Boy I like to have that car, I whispered to my dad
Bm G
I always heard a Mustang flys
D G
We could fix it up, and make it new again
Em A7
All it needs, is just a little time
My Daddy's hardly ever home, Since Momma passed away
He's always workin over-time
I know that he can not, afford to buy that car
Even though, he love to make it mine
1st Chorus
A7 Bm G
It's not that car that I'm needin
D A7
Just the chance to be with him
Bm G
I know that once these days grow past us
D A7
They will never come again
G D F#m Bm
So little time, we spent way too much apart
G D
There could always be a part of us
A D
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 Colbys Ridge
There I said my last good bye
I opened up note and found a set of keys
Here's you car son, I hope it flys
2nd Chorus
It's not the car that your 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
