97 Avalon - Live from The Tea Factory

See, I was drivin' down Woodward, with you in the passenger's seat
Doin' 50
In my '97 Avalon
And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary
You looked at me and said
That your dad's been depressed
"Can we change this CD?" you said
"Something a little more soulful"
I changed it, and then you said
You heard my last EP, baby
You kinda liked it
But you thought it did not sound like me

Mm, but, ooh, the car is gone
And we both left town
But I got this funny feeling with me now
We'll ride it again somehow

Yeah
So I was speedin' up Eleven, with you sittin' next to me
Sipping Bailey's
From that Colorado coffee cup
And then we turned past the tea house where Mary read her poetry
And you looked at me and said, what?
That you miss your college bed, ha!
Well, ain't this fine to see?
You reminiscin'
As if I was the one who said, "Nah"
"This feeling ain't rooted in reality"
And then you said, "Step on it"
And that's the last thing you ever said to me, uh

But, ooh, the car is gone
And we'll both leave home
But I got this funny feeling in my bones
We'll ride it again before you go

Oh!

Okay, so
So I was
It was summer, maybe winter
I can't remember, I couldn't see
Out the window
Of our '97 Avalon
See it's been months since this engine made it on 75, you see
And on the phone before the crash
You said you love me, but you can't
And you see you think if you say it enough times aloud
You'll start to believe it
But I've got no idea now
And I'm
And I'm sittin' in some cafe
All caught up about somethin' I can't change
And I'm sipping that tea
And my memory renews
And all of a sudden, I'm on Woodward, sittin' next to you

You said, "Our love is a fixer upper"
Needs new paint to hide the nicks
Keep it in second gear to start
And drive it slow when the road is slick
Steer clear of the highway
And maybe one more summer it'll last

Yes, maybe one more summer
We can be young and
Drive it fast

But, ooh, the car is gone
And we both left town
But I got this funny feelin' with me now

(Woo!) Woo! (Yeah!)
(We're done!) (Yeah!)
(Yeah!) (Alright)
(Woo!)
(Heheh) (Woo-)
