Jim Lill - A Car That Runs Lyrics

The tank is full even though the gauge is dead
And it's still mostly fire engine red
The speaker's blown out but the music still sounds good
I wouldn't trade it in even if I could
Well, maybe I would
Some people want money
Some people want fame
A forty foot boat and a private plane
Caviar on a china plate
But if I get a good stretch of interstate
Then I don't need a rolex
You don't need diamonds
We just need a day to waste our free time on
So climb on in until the weekend's done
I need you and a car that runs
I just need you and a car that runs
We can take it pit road slow or cut straight through the wind
The rust and dust just shows off where we've been
So if you wanna go then just tell me where
It might be a bumpy ride but it'll get us there
Some people want money
Some people want fame
A forty foot boat and a private plane
A fancy house with a big front gate
But if I get a good stretch of interstate
Then I don't need a rolex
You don't need diamonds
We just need a day to waste our free time on
So climb on in until the weekend's done
I need you and a car that runs
I just need you and a car that runs
As long as we have four good tires
We'll be young for another couple hundred thousand miles
Some people want money
Some people want fame
A forty foot boat and a private plane
New suits and boots, yeah that sounds great
But if I get a good stretch of interstate
I don't need a rolex
You don't need diamonds
We just need a day to waste our free time on
So climb on in until the weekend's done
I need you and a car that runs
I just need you and a car that runs
You and a car that runs
