with a 100 dollar paint job and a brand new stereo
I thought I'd be riding the miracle mile
but a tire came off and the alternator died
before I even got to the highway

this old car is full of memories
she can't get far but she sure feels good to drive
may not start all the time or run in the rain
but this old car is my best friend

I got a set of fuzzy dice and an air freshener
wool seat covers to hide coffee stains
but the roof is leaking and the carpet stinks of mildew
even if she starts I can't drive her in the rain

this old car is full of memories
she can't get far but she sure feels good to drive
may not start all the time or run in the rain
but this old car is my best friend

I had my first kiss in her back seat
I've heard every Beatles song through her worn-out speakers
Seen 42 states through her dirty windshield
I got to know this country from behind her wheel

this old car is full of memories
she can't get far but she sure feels good to drive
may not start all the time or run in the rain
but this old car is my best friend

so if you see me stuck will you please help me out?
I'll tell you my story if you give me a lift
and if you see me swerve, no I'm not drunk
every drive with her is an unexpected gift

this old car is full of memories
she can't get far but she sure feels good to drive
may not start all the time or run in the rain
but this old car is my best friend
