Bad Car

[Verse 1]
I know it's a bad car, I know it's a piece of junk
I know the best tire on it is in the trunk
Just when you start to pass, it always starts to shake
'Cause over 55, it's a bitch to drive on the interstate

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it's broke down more than it runs
But I'm broke down knowing that it's done

[Chorus 1]
It witnessed all those tears nobody ever saw me cry
When I broke the law through Arkansas to tell my dad goodbye
It didn't get there pretty, but it got me there that day
So I'm a little sad to see it roll away

[Verse 2]
I know it's a bad car, I know that the windshield's cracked
When it isn't leaking oil, it's leaking gas
It always needs a jump, it always needs Freon
Yeah, there's death and taxes, and the check engine light blinkin' on

[Chorus 2]
But it heard the first bad word that my firstborn ever said
Running late when I hit the brakes at a yellow turning red
There's still Kool-Aid on the console that reminds me of that day
So I'm a little sad to see it roll away, roll away

[Bridge]
It knows more of my secrets than I'll ever tell
So to keep from crying as they tow it away
I tell myself

[Outro]
I know it's a bad car, I know it's a piece of junk
I know the best tire on it is in the trunk
