Big Ol' Broke-Down Redneck Car

We had stayed out drinking 'til dawn
Tying one on
I wasn't about to let you get in the last shot
But I tell you what, I was drunk as snot
And we kinda staggered out of the place
And I looked at your face
White like the watching winter moon
And I think I said I love you too soon
And I want to take care of you
And I leaned on you too
And I hugged you like you were a guitar
Against your big ol' broke-down redneck car

The party was going slowly to hell
A bunch of egos we didn't know too well
And you said in my ear
Let's get out of here
So I leaned my seat back safe and sleepy-eyed
With the wind blowing inside
And you drove us out to the sticks
And a cop said get your light fixed
And we drove away from the city lights to try to look for the stars
In your big ol' broke-down redneck car

I don't think you've ever really understood
Well, I don't see how you could
When I was young and sad I used to drive around
In the middle of the night in my empty hometown
And it was a kind of a longing
And when you did the same thing
I knew that you knew what it was like

Do you remember one time when we were driving home
And I was about three sheets gone
And it just kind of slipped through
Are we going to get married too
And you just said Yeah really simple and sure
And I don't know if you noticed but I cried a little, just real quiet
Because
I love the person you are
In your big ol' broke-down redneck car
