69 CAMARO

Grandma said,
“You got a four-seater car with a family of six
Son what were you thinking?
To me that just don’t make much sense
They must have seen you coming”
Well Daddy just emailed and shook his head and said
“Who’s the first to ride”
Grandma hesitated at first then
Jumped in on the driver’s side

And she found us a highway straighter than an arrow
The world was perfect in every way
In that 69 Camaro

Well, some time when my daddy was working
Grandma found his keys
She’d snatch me up and say, “Come on baby
Let’s go catch a breeze”
She’d pull down grandpa’s old ball cap
And with a smile on her face
I could see that car was taking her
To another time and place

And she found us a highway straighter than an arrow
Who knew we were making memories
In that 69 Camaro

Well years have passed and so has she
And that old car’s now mine
I take it for a spin every now and then
And I close my eyes. Yeah, I close my eyes

And I’m a kid all over again
Back in ’73
I can feel my hear let go of that wheel
And she’s still driving me

She’s keeping me on the highway straighter than an arrow
I throw my hands up high
In that 69 Camaro
Relive the best days of my life
In that 69 Camaro
