Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

(Still running)

Verse 1

The paint is gone the seats are torn

The engine coughs each early morn

One broken light a rusty door

But I keep coming back for more

The radio has lost its sound

Dashboard shakes when I drive around

Fuel runs low the brakes complain

But she still takes me through the rain

Instrumental Groove

Verse 2

City lights slide down the glass

Another night another pass

Traffic moves the signals change

My old machine still feels the same

She's seen the coast she's seen the snow

She's heard the things I never show

No shining badge no perfect lines

Four old wheels and borrowed time

Pre-Chorus

Turn the key

Hear the sound

Something broken

Still goes round

One more mile

One more night

Keep the engine

Burning bright

Chorus

MY OLD CAR

Take me anywhere tonight

MY OLD CAR

Keep the engine burning bright

Rattle and roll

Out of control

My old car

Still carries my soul

MY OLD CAR

We don't need a reason why

MY OLD CAR

Keep on rolling through the night

Post-Chorus

Still running

Still running

My old car

Still running

Still running

Through the dark

Instrumental Break

Verse 3

The mechanic says it's time to quit

Too much rust and too much grit

He shakes his head he names the price

I tell him that she'll be alright

There's a dent from '99

A faded sticker and a crooked sign

Every scratch is something true

Every mile remembers you

Pre-Chorus

Turn the key

Hear the sound

Something broken

Still goes round

One more mile

One more night

Keep the engine

Burning bright

Chorus

MY OLD CAR

Take me anywhere tonight

MY OLD CAR

Keep the engine burning bright

Rattle and roll

Out of control

My old car

Still carries my soul

MY OLD CAR

We don't need a reason why

MY OLD CAR

Keep on rolling through the night

Breakdown

No touchscreen

No GPS

Just an old map

And a little mess

No perfect paint

No warranty

Just you old girl

And the road with me

Build

Start it up

Let it run

One more road

One more sun

Start it up

Let it run

We're not finished

We're not done

Final Chorus

MY OLD CAR

Take me anywhere tonight

MY OLD CAR

Keep the engine burning bright

Rattle and roll

Out of control

My old car

Still carries my soul

MY OLD CAR

We don't need a reason why

MY OLD CAR

Keep on rolling through the night

MY OLD CAR

Every mile becomes a song

MY OLD CAR

We've been broken all along

But the wheels still turn

And the lights still glow

My old car

Don't let me go

Outro

Still running

Still running

My old car

Still running

Still running
