Lyrics
The Beetle and the Benz
(J.Urnes)
She came to me one morning, it was in the month of June. She smiled at me and said hello. I smiled at her and nodded and couldn't say a word, cause all I wanted to say was baby don't leave please stay.
She asked me what do you do when you're bored. I smiled and said I don't know. Cause if you are free and want to go somewhere; I would really like to come, and I would really like to give you some.
She is a pretty Mercedes - Benz, just a beetle am I. When she's out riding she shines like the sun. I'm parked in the shadow of a wall.
She took me to a place just outside of town, and said please follow me. We drove into the woods and came to a place with a river so blue, a tree was carved Dodge and Ford is true.
She is a pretty Mercedes - Benz, just a beetle am I. When she's out riding she shines like the sun. I'm parked in the shadow of a wall.
We parked down by the river, I said what now. She said be patient and you'll see.
I felt her tyres close to mine and shivered just a bit; in her mirror I saw a glimpse of love and maybe something more.
She is a pretty Mercedes - Benz, just a beetle am I. When she's out riding she shines like the sun. I'm parked in the shadow of a wall.
She is a pretty Mercedes - Benz, just a beetle am I. When she's out riding she shines like the sun. I'm parked in the shadow of a wall.
