American Cars

LETRA

American Cars

I was workin' on a plan to disappear completely
Gaslightin' my friends into thinkin' I was busy
'Cause if drinkin' was a day job, I'd be askin' for more money
Hell, I never take a day off, and I'm always sellin' somethin'

Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A
Didn't know you drove American cars
Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day
But you're here and we're so grateful you are

'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up
'Cause, honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask

And I hate to drag you back here, but I think he's really lost it
He's been sittin' on the porch, oh, ranting like a prophet
And I can't stand the nights, yeah, that dinner time silence
I cut the tension with a knife, and I pray you started drivin'

Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A
Didn't know you drove American cars
Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day
But you're home and I'm so grateful you are

'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up
Honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask

Make him talk, make it stop, all I want is a dialogue
Oh, we're drownin' here, I've gotta stay for Mom
Make the house a home, you know how to talk
Well, you did back then, we would talk so much
And it's fine we don't, but can you come home?

'Cause you gotta fix this, you gotta patch it up
'Cause, baby, we're fragile, you always were so tough
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask

You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
Oh, whenever I ask
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
