"Dirty Camaro" lyrics

"Dirty Camaro"

Sings that song like it's the pledge of allegiance
Windows down on Christmas Eve
Kissed his head, flew off like a sparrow
She drove off in that dirty Camaro

He drew a heart on that back filthy window
So she could see him as she waved goodbye
Said she'd come back when he was finally sober
She drove off in that dirty Camaro
In that dirty Camaro
In that dirty Camaro

She threw her phone on the banks of that river
Held her broken heart and sang out a prayer
Figured he'd probably be dead by the mornin'
Shook off the ties that binded her there
To her surprise, problems got smaller
Just like she read when she wiped off that mirror
She headed north, the wind, it got colder
She drove off in that dirty Camaro
In that dirty Camaro
In that dirty Camaro

Sister got the address at the motel she stayed at
"Extended Stay" blinked above her cold room
Sent her some money to fill up her gas tank
Along with a note that said, "Follow that moon
Things went south as soon as you left here
You can imagine the state he's in
But run, baby, run, you're just past the border
We're here all praying that you make it
In that dirty, dirty Camaro"
In that dirty Camaro

He drew a heart on that back filthy window
So she could see him as she waved goodbye
Said he'd come back when he was finally sober
To her surprise, the problem felt smaller
Just like she thought she'd read in that mirror

And she headed north
The wind, it got colder
And she drove off
In that dirty Camaro
In that dirty Camaro
In that dirty Camaro
Dirty Camaro
