Blue Car - Greg Brown

I’m driving my blue car baby

Down from the mountain so high

I’m driving my blue car baby

Coming down to say goodbye

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

The lightning’s meant to strike

The tall pine trees

& the birds are meant to cry

& wheel in the breeze

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

I’ll park my old blue car

I may fall down the mountain

But i will never fall in love again
