VERSE
it was once as shiny and new
new car smell ? showroom view
we took trips ? near and far
you said it was your favorite car
other cars kept passing by
a newer model caught your eye
this old car was left in your dust
CHORUS
? cause This Old Car
it ran on hope
of getting back to you
just hop back in
we?ll take a spin
this car knows what to do...
THIS OLD CAR - THIS OLD CAR
THIS OLD CAR - THIS OLD CAR
VERSE
that sporty little car that you took off in
spun out of control and broke your heartstrings
leaving you stranded by the road
your deep regret ? a heavy load
but from up around the bend
comes your steady runnin? friend
this old car will take you home
CHORUS
This Old Car
it ran on hope
of getting back to you
just hop back in
we?ll take a spin
This Old Car still loves you
BRIDGE
so throw your stuff inside
i?ll put the top down baby
for a moonlit ride
this car will travel on
?cause it?s built for distance
and the road is so long
CHORUS
? cause This Old Car
it ran on hope
of getting back to you
just hop back in
we?ll take a spin
This Old Car still loves you...
THIS OLD CAR - THIS OLD CAR
THIS OLD CAR - THIS OLD CAR
THIS OLD CAR - THIS OLD CAR
THIS OLD CAR - THIS OLD CAR
