Lyrics
New Car Smell
By Lori Kelley & Franklin Taggart ©2008
Dom Perignon turned on me a hundred miles from Reno
Made me think of my bare feet on the dash of your El Camino
We just passed the Dairy Queen where you got that ring from the gum machine
I said I wanted out, I wanted more
There's nothin' to this Cadillac and thousand-dollar shoes
Last time I was happy I was on this road with you
My reasons for leaving were my first steps to Hell
With Champagne, high heels and a new car smell
He got my ring from Tiffany, the price tag was outrageous
He polished up this country girl with all his social graces
Got a good man in the driver's seat, but he don't make my heart beat
I got everything I want, but I want you more
There's nothin' to this Cadillac and thousand-dollar shoes
Last time I was happy I was on this road with you
My reasons for leaving were my first steps to Hell
With Champagne, high heels and a new car smell
I'll take a taxi, that's if you'll have me
I'll take a bus, if you still want me
I'm makin' my way back to us
Back to us
I've had enough of Cadillacs and thousand-dollar shoes
Last time I was happy I was on this road with you
He'll find another pretty girl, do just as well
With Champagne, high heels and a new car smell
