1949

It was a cherry red 1949

That same summer he made her his bride

They drove away cans on both sides

With hands out the window as they waved goodbye

Now its a rusty old truck she aint around no more

Three flat tires dents in the doors

Things have changed between now and then

He still sings their song

Together again

Wish we could turn back time to way back when

We drove too far too fast so young but in the end

Shell call my name when Ive done my time

Well be back in the summer of 49

A new coat of paint and fully restored

His memory aint what it was before

So I take him down a back road and let him drive

Yeah he still feels her right by his side

Wish we could turn back time to way back when

We drove too far too fast so young but in the end

Shell call my name when Ive done my time

Well be back in the summer of 49

Oooh

Oooh

Life goes by and you cant hold on

But in your mind theyre never gone

Wish we could turn back time to way back when

We drove too far too fast so young but in the end

Wish we could turn back time to way back when

We drove too far too fast so young but in the end

Shell call my name when Ive done my time

Well be back in the summer of 49

Yeah well be back in the summer of 49

Well be back in the summer of 49

It was a cherry red 1949

He gave to me before he said goodbye
