I had a '69 Impala I bought it from my Dad I gave him three hundred dollars It gave me all it had And after all that old car went through You'd think I'd still have you It always brought us home alright It knew every curve in the road Gave us shelter from the night When we had no gas to go We always found plenty to do When you loved me and I loved you The other day I seen that car In a heap of rust by the old man's barn I hadn't thought of it in years But you still cross my mind And all we left behind And we were leaving souvenirs Now the car won't start And I had to pry the door Among the salvage parts Up on the dashboard There was a red ribbon from your hair And I remember the night that you put it there The other day I seen that car In a heap of rust by the old man's barn I hadn't thought of it in years But you still cross my mind And all we left behind And we were leaving souvenirs When we were leaving souvenirs
