Got the Car Running

Got an old, I'm talking old Ford pick-up
Every day off I'm working on her
Spend all my tips at the east side junk yard
Finally found that carburetor
Got to get this damn fuel pump working
Before I go inside and get to bed
He's calling me in and he means now
If I ever have to leave him again
I got the car running
Rebuilt the transmission
Four good tires, a spare below
Slam the hood, ready to roll
Hope I never have to go
But I got the car running
On our first date, he brought flowers
Not just that one time either
He'd walk me home when I worked late hours
Said he'd never been with anyone sweeter
Life has taken a toll on him
Disappointments and ex-best friends
I wish he'd let me make him feel better
But if he ever takes it out on me again
I got the car running
Rebuilt the transmission
Four good tires, a spare below
Slam the hood, ready to roll
Hope I never have to go
But I got the car running.
