Boy, I'd love to have that car

I whispered to my dad

I've always heard

A Mustang flies

We could fix it up

And make it new again

All it needs

Is just a little time

Dad is hardly ever home

Since Momma passed away

He's always

Workin' overtime

I know that he cannot afford

To buy that car

Even though

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 roll past us

They will never come again

So little time

And we spend way too much apart

There would always be a part of us

Together in that car

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 I come quick

He left a note for me

Buried Dad right next to Mom

Up on Crowley's Ridge

There I said

My last goodbye

I opened up the note

And found a set of keys

"Here's your car, son

I hope it flies"

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

But it's my chance to be with you

I hope you understand I always did

The best that I could do

So little time

And we spent way too much apart

And there will always be a part of us

Together in that car

And there will always be a part of us

Together in that car
