 Boy  I like to have that car, I  whispered to my dad
 I  always heard a Mustang flys
 We  could fix it up, and make  it new again
 All  it needs, is just a little  time
 My Daddy's hardly ever home, Since Momma passed away
 He's always workin over-time
 I know that he can not, afford to buy that car
 Even though, he love to make it mine
 1st Chorus
 It's  not that car  that I'm needin
 Just  the chance to be  with him
 I  know that once these days  grow past us
 They  will never come again
 So  little time,  we spent way  too much apart
 There  could always be a part  of us
 Together  in that car
 We finally let go of that dream
 and the time we could have shared
 It was a distant memory
 Until last fall a call came
 sayin Dad was gone, could come quick
 He left a note for me
 They buried Dad right next to Mom
 Up on Colbys Ridge
 There I said my last good bye
 I opened up note and found a set of keys
 Here's you car son, I hope it flys

I[A7]t's not that   c[Bm]ar that  I'm  ne[G]edin

He left a note for me

They buried Dad right next to Mom
Up on Colbys Ridge
There I said my last good bye
I opened up note and found a set of keys
Here's you car son, I hope it flys
