                       When She Sold Her Old Ford Mustang

Y’all need some more coffee? I got some fresh

That car was my dream; had it since I was twenty
When I got married it was our honeymoon ride
When I got divorced it was all I had
After me and my baby got away from the beatings

Your breakfast okay? We got a new cook

We sometimes had to live in it, y’know?
So like I had to tell my son I’m selling it
I promised it to him for his graduation
That car was our life. But it ain’t safe

Did I tell you we got a new cook? He’s pretty good

I’m been waitin’ tables in this old café for years
Watchin’ the world go by on th’ highway
