’69 Corvette

Put on your jacket we are gone we are gone
I need an adventure and I feel like like leaving
Been in this hotel room too long
The marble prison requires housekeeping

So long
So long

I came to this city full of smiles
Opportunity every miracle mile
I still think of carolina sometimes
I miss the family I miss that feeling

I miss home
I miss home

Where daddy loved adventures in his 69 corvette
6 pack of silver bullets in his arms
Me and mamma will drink tequila and it gets us to cackling
And I sit on those extra pillows all alone

They say pay attention to their manners just as they are leaving
If they thank you for the food or the wine
Well it floats right by on one day you are looking at polaroids and grieving so remember to tell them
That you love them everytime, everytime

Daddy loves adventures in his 69 corvette
6 pack of silver bullets in his arms
Me and mamma drink cheap tequila and it gets us both cackling, and I sit on all those extra pillows alone

And daddy’s got tennis elbow from practicing violin
I see him slowing down not an easy thing
To swallow when its your old man

Well it floats right by until when one day
You are looking at polaroids grieving
So remember to tell them that you love them every time
One more time
