Take That Ride - 60s Soul About Starting Up A Beater

Lyrics
Would she start or leave me standin' out?
With fingers crossed, I walked right out the door
There's magic under that rusty hood, I swore
Turn the key, oh Lord, please don't ignore
[Pre-Chorus]
She sputtered, kicked, then came to life, a sound I'll adore
You don't have to worry
You don't have to worry
[Verse 2]
(Hey sweetheart
Check this out, I got a tale)
Woke up early, frost on the ground
Gave a little prayer, honey, and spun it around
Engine coughs, then a roar, can you believe the sound?
She kicked and sputtered, but didn't let me down
Pump the gas, and hear that growl, we're back in town
[Chorus]
Oh baby, roll the windows down, take that ride
Ain't nothin' like the joy when she comes alive
Ain't no heater, but we'll keep it warm inside
Steering wheel shaking, but my heart is in the drive
Radio crackles with a soul jive, oh what a vibe
[Bridge]
Oh honey, hear her purr, she's singing our song
Gonna ride all day, nothing can go wrong
Foot on the pedal, and we're cruising along
With every mile, we laugh and we grin
That old clunker has got me feeling so grand
She's no beauty, but she's always been my stand
Windows foggin' up, doing the best we can
[Chorus]
Roll the windows down, and let's take that drive
Ain't nothin' like the joy when she comes alive
Ain't no heat but we got our love to keep
Foot tapping to the beat, listen to her speak
Who needs a heater when we've got this groove
Radio blaring Smokey, we can't lose
[Chorus]
Roll the windows down, we'll take that ride
Ain't nothin' like the joy when she comes alive
