97 Avalon - Charlie Burg

Lyrics by：Charles Gallant Burg/Joseph Edward Codrington

Composed by：Charles Gallant Burg/Joseph Edward Codrington

See I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger seat

Doing fifty in my '97 Avalon

And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary

You looked at me and said

That your dad's been depressed

Can we change this CD you said

Something a little more soulful

I changed it and you said you heard my last EP

You kinda liked it

But you thought it did not sound like me

But ooh the car is gone and we both left town

But I got this funny feeling with me now

We'll ride it again somehow ooh

So I was speeding up 11 with you sittin' next to me

Sipping Bailey's from that Colorado coffee cup

And then we turned past the tea house

Where Mary read her poetry

And you looked at me and said

That you miss your college bed

Well ain't this fine to see

You reminiscin' as if I was the one who said

No this feelin' ain't rooted in reality

And then you said Step on it

And that's the last thing you ever said to me

But ooh the car is gone and we'll both leave home

But I got this funny feeling in my bones

We'll ride it again before you go

So it was summer maybe winter can't remember

I couldn't see out the window of our '97 Avalon

See it's been months since

This engine made it on 75 you see

And on the phone before the crash

You said you love me but you can't

And you see you think if you say it enough times aloud

You'll start to believe it but I've got no idea now

And I'm and I'm sitting in some café

All caught up about something I can't change

And I'm sipping that tea and my memory renews

And all of a sudden I'm on Woodward sittin' next to you

You said our love is a fixer upper

Needs new paint to hide the nicks

Keep it in second gear to start

And drive it slow when the road is slick

Steer clear of the highway

And maybe one more summer it'll last

Yes maybe one more summer

We can be young and drive it fast

But ooh the car is gone and we both left town

But I got this funny feeling with me now

Oh yeah woo
