Lucero - '84 300zx (with T-Tops) lyrics

If I was fourteen
That'd make you thirty-nine
On Greers Ferry Lake
There fore the summertime
You knew I had your car out driving on my own
That six-foot ditch
It sure did cut clear across the road
Don’t you know well, here we go

You taught me how to drive
Before the age of twelve
Why they dug that ditch there
Lord I could never tell
Weeds on the gravel road taller than a man
When I hopped that six-foot ditch that
Car never stood a chance you understand?
Well, goddamn

I'm older now than you were then
You raised us boys up to be good men
I think about it now


The car in the ditch and the
Long walk back to the house

Driving the neighbor kids
We're all stuffed in the hatchback
Matthew riding shotgun and not
One got a scratch
It was clear that car wasn’t goin' anywhere
When you finally found us
You did't even yell you could tell
It wouldn't help

I'm older now than you were then
You raised us boys up to be good men
I think about it now
The car in the ditch and the
Long walk back to the house

Was little more than a pig trail
Was driving like a bat out of hell
It sure was a doggone shame
That car never was the same
What a doggone shame aw Lord

If I was fourteen
That'd make you thirty-nine
Nothing I could say today to make it right
Throttle wide open now what a sight

I'm older now than you were then
You raised us boys up to be good men
I'm a father now and I know some way
I got it comin’ back to me one day
I think about it now
The car in the ditch and the
Long walk back to the house
