Boy, I'd love to have that car   I whispered to my dad   I've always heard   A Mustang flies      We could fix it up   And make it new again   All it needs   Is just a little time      Dad is hardly ever home   Since Momma passed away   He's always   Workin' overtime      I know that he cannot afford   To buy that car   Even though   He'd love to make it mine      It's not the car that I'm needin'   Just the chance to be with him   I know that once these days roll past us   They will never come again      So little time   And we spend way too much apart   There would always be a part of us   Together in that car      Finally, let go of that dream   And the time   We could have shared   It was a distant memory      Until last fall a call came   Sayin' Dad was gone   Could I come quick   He left a note for me      Buried Dad right next to Mom   Up on Crowley's Ridge   There I said   My last goodbye      I opened up the note   And found a set of keys   "Here's your car, son   I hope it flies"      It's not the car that you're needin'   But it's my chance to be with you   I hope you understand I always did   The best that I could do      So little time   And we spent way too much apart   And there will always be a part of us   Together in that car   And there will always be a part of us   Together in that car
