George Strait' son, Bubba, pitched this song to him. It was eventually recorded and released on November 4, 2013, the third single from his album Love Is Everything.
[Verse 1]
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 kind of like a shot"
She said, "I saw you coming over, I already thought it over and okay, so now what?"
[Chorus]
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"
[Verse 2]
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 out of nowhere
She said, "I'd give anything to never go back there
And I kind of wish this day would never end"
She said, "I could use a change but I don't even know where to begin"
[Chorus]
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
I can't promise you the moon and the stars
But I got a car"
[Verse 3]
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"
[Verse 4]
And her eyes teared up and 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 going?"
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"
