97 Avalon

See I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger's seat
 Doing 50 in my 97 Avalon
 And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary
 You looked at me and said
 That your dad's been depressed
 "Can we change this CD?", you said
 "Something a little more soulful"
 I changed it and then you said
 You heard my last EP
 You kinda liked it
 But you thought it did not sound like me
 But ooh, the car is gone
 And we both left town
 But I got this funny feeling with me now
 We'll ride it again somehow
 ♪
 So I was speedin' up Eleven with you sittin' next to me
 Sipping Bailey's from that Colorado coffee cup
 And then we turned past the tea house where Mary read her poetry
 And you looked at me and said
 That you miss your college bed
 Well ain't this fine to see?
 You reminiscin'
 As if I was the one who said
 "No, this feeling ain't rooted in reality"
 And then you said, "Step on it"
 And that's the last thing you ever said to me
 But ooh, the car is gone
 And we'll both leave home
 But I got this funny feeling in my bones
 We'll ride it again before you go
 ♪
 So it was summer, maybe winter
 Can't remember, I couldn't see
 Out the window of our 97 Avalon
 See it's been months since this engine made it on 75, you see
 And on the phone before the crash
 You said you love me but you can't
 And you see you think if you say it enough times aloud
 You'll start to believe it
 But I've got no idea now
 And I'm sittin' in some cafe
 All caught up about something I can't change
 And I'm sipping that tea
 And my memory renews
 And all of a sudden I'm on Woodward sittin' next to you
 You said our love is a fixer upper
 Needs new paint to hide the nicks
 Keep it in second gear to start
 And drive it slow when the road is slick
 Steer clear of the highway
 And maybe one more summer it'll last
 ♪
 Yes maybe one more summer
 We can be young and drive it fast
 ♪
 But ooh the car is gone
 And we both left town
 But I got this funny feeling with me now
