GLEAMING CHROME

Honey she said it has to go it's been there ten years or more
All that old car does is kill the lawn
It's an eyesore and a pain listening to the neighbors complain
I don't care what you do get it gone
So on the dash went a For Sale sign it wasn't long before a man stopped by
Said sir I'd like to buy that car from you
I said son you give me a hundred bucks it's all yours and good luck
I wish you could have seen it when it was new
When I brought her home there was gleaming chrome
A young mans rolling dream
When you pulled out to pass and you stepped down on the gas
Lord how that engine would scream
But it don't mean much to anyone but me
I know it's not much to look at the battery's dead the tires are flat
But it holds a million miles of memories
Ten thousand trips to the ice cream store the movies the beach and so much more
With all the kids standing on the seats
When I brought her home there was gleaming chrome
A young mans rolling dream
When you pulled out to pass and you stepped down on the gas
Lord how that engine would scream
But it don't mean much to anyone but me
Break
A few months later I'm home alone when I get a call on the telephone
She said honey can you open that front door
There in the driveway my wife stood with a great big bow on that old car's hood
Lookin' better than it ever had before
She said happy anniversary I hope you didn't know
I paid that man to fix her up 'cause I couldn't let her go
And it looked brand new there was gleaming chrome
An old couple's rolling dream
With tears in our eyes we took her for a ride
I never knew that it could ever mean
As much to her as it did to me
And there was gleaming chrome
