She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess With a story that could only be anybody´s guess And I was thinking that I probably didn´t stand a chance
But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said Hey, I know I don´t know you but I´d kinda like a shot She said, I saw you coming over, I already thought it over And OK, so now what
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there´s something At least it´s a start, I said, it´s better than nothing I ain´t in no hurry but I´m ready when you are And she said, where do you think all this is going I said, there ain´t no way of knowing I guess I hadn´t thought it through that far But I got a car
So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down We let ourselves go all the way through town She never said stop and I never asked her why We drove into the night, when outta nowhere She said, I´d give anything to never go back there And I kinda wish this day would never end She said, I could use a change but I don´t even know where to begin
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there´s something At least it´s a start, I said, it´s better than nothing I ain´t in no hurry but I´m ready when you are And she said, where do you think all this is going I said, there ain´t no way of knowing
I really hadn´t thought it through that far And I can´t promise you the moon and stars But I got a car
We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days ´Til we finally found a stopping place When the doctor´s said, you know what´s on the way? And we found ourselves in a little white house One Sunday morning, rain pouring down She said, I think it´s time but all the lines are out And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now?
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there´s something You think it´ll start, I said, it´s already running
Got your things in the back and I´m ready when you are She said, are you sure it´ll get us where we´re goin´? I said, if there´s one thing I know girl, it´s gotten us this far And I don´t mean to hurry but I´m ready when you are
