  • She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress
    Summer tanned, pretty, little perfect mess
    With a story that could only be anybody's guess
    And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance
    But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
    "Hey, I know I don't know you but I'd kinda like a shot"
    She said, "I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over
    And okay, so now what?"

    And I said, "Well, I got a car", she said, "There's something
    At least it's a start", I said, "It's better than nothing
    I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are"
    And she said, "Where do you think all this is going?"
    I said, "There ain't no way of knowing
    I guess I hadn't thought it through that far
    But I got a car"

    So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down
    We let ourselves go all the way through town
    She never said, "Stop" and I never asked her why
    We drove into the night, when outta nowhere
    She said, "I'd give anything to never go back there
    And I kinda wish this day would never end"
    She said, "I could use a change but I don't even know where to begin"

    And I said, "Well, I got a car", she said, "There's something
    At least it's a start", I said, "It's better than nothing
    I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are"
    And she said, "Where do you think all this is going?"
    I said, "There ain't no way of knowing
    I really hadn't thought it through that far
    And I can't promise you the moon and stars
    But I got a car"

    We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days
    'Til we finally found a stopping place
    When the doctor said, "You know what's on the way?"
    And we found ourselves in a little white house
    One Sunday morning, rain pouring down
    She said, "I think it's time but all the lines are out"
    And her eyes teared up as she said, "What are we gonna do now?"

    And I said, "Well I got a car", she said, "There's something
    You think it'll start", I said, "It's already running
    Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are"
    She said, "Are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'?"
    I said, "If there's one thing I know, girl, it's gotten us this far
    And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are" Writer/s: Keith Gattis, Tom Douglas
