"83 Chevrolet Time Machine" lyrics

He bought it from an ad in a magazine
Before he had mama, before mama had me
They brought me home as a baby on this bench seat
In this '83 Chevrolet time machine

Peaceful easy feeling on that old cassette
Smell of old spice and Marlboro reds
He'd sit behind the wheel with me on his knee
In this '83 Chevrolet time machine

I climb inside, and I go back
To casting lines, and playing catch
Throw it in drive
And it's almost like he's right here next to me
In this '83 Chevrolet time machine

Used to take me for a ride when I needed to talk
'Bout life, 'bout love, 'bout nothin' at all
It's like turnin' the pages when I turn the key
In this '83 Chevrolet time machine

I climb inside, and I go back
To casting lines, and playing catch
Throw it in drive
And it's almost like he's right here next to me
In this '83 Chevrolet time machine

And the day he left, he left it to me
Every scratch and dent is a memory
And it's more than Detroit steel four muddy wheels
A quarter tank of gas and me
It's an '83 Chevrolet time machine
It's my '83 Chevrolet time machine
