Lyrics
I bought a brand new car,
a shiny silver dream
I'll take you for a drive
In my new machine
But things ain't quite the same
Since we last took a ride
'Cause now you've got a house
With a husband and kids inside
It didn't end up like we planned it
Time can be so underhanded
And now you've gone and left me stranded
In case you hadn't heard
So we'll drive in my car,
But we won't drive real far,
We'll just look up at the stars, baby,
But we won't say a word.
The past is far behind,
Get's farther every day,
But then, from time to time,
It don't seem so far away.
Like when we take that ride
Through your suburban town,
And turn the music up
And roll the windows down.
It didn't end up like we planned it
Time can be so underhanded
And now you've gone and left me stranded
In case you hadn't heard
So we'll drive in my car,
But we won't drive real far,
We'll just look up at the stars, baby,
But we won't say a word.
And as we take that ride
We'll see a star that's died
A million miles away,
But, as the scholars teach us,
The light takes so long to reach us
It sparkles just the same.
It didn't end up like we planned it
Time can be so underhanded
And now you've gone and left me stranded
In case you hadn't heard
So we'll drive in my car,
But we won't drive real far,
We'll just look up at the stars, baby,
But we won't say a word.
Yeah, we'll drive in my car,
But we won't drive real far,
It's close, but no cigar, baby;
We won't say a word.
We won't say a word.
