My Old Ride

You could do 75
Tires going bald
cnd your paint peeling off
cnd both of your tail lights out
I gripped the wheel
on came horizons
Passing cars in the opposite lane
while the radio's cutting out
My old ride
I still hear your engine moan
Saying I'm just here to get you where you need to go
My old ride
Let's top off the tank and gun it out west
We can try our best to make the sun set last
We can try our best to make the sun set last
when I hit 16
he tossed me the keys
said if you get it running
it is yours to keep
broken down as the man who gave it
I put more in
than it was worth
peeled out fast
cnd I scorched that earth
jerked the wheel
and I never bothered wavein'
My old ride
I still hear your engine moan
Saying I'm just here to get you where you need to go
My old ride
Let's top off the tank and gun it out west
We can try our best to make the sun set last
We can try our best to make the sun set last
his only advice was don't end up like me
That man would rather say nothing than how he feels
got a Polaroid of a burning kid
carousel in a blur behind him
leaning on a shiney new ride
I fear now I recognize those eyes
in the rearview across the great divide
cs I race back home in time to say goodbye
My old ride
I still hear your engine moan
Saying I'm just here to get you where you need to go
My old ride
Let's top off the tank and gun it out west
We can try our best to make the sun set last
We can try our best to make the sun set last
Just a little bit longer
Just a little bit longer
