Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Granddad's truck still sits behind the barn
Fender rusted like autumn leaves
He said that engine's got a soul of its own
You just gotta listen when it breathes
[Pre-Chorus]
Forty years of gravel roads and rain
Told me boy it's time to turn the key
[Chorus]
Old cars don't die they just get older
Chrome and patience in the sun
Every dent's a story told in summers
Every mile a race we won
Old cars they hum a song worth keeping
Long after the new ones fade
[Verse 2]
I found a '67 in a field one day
Half-buried where the wild grass grew
Pulled the weeds back from the glass
And swore I'd bring her back for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Bought a parts book from the man downtown
Said son she's gonna run again somehow
[Chorus]
Old cars don't die they just get older
Chrome and patience in the sun
Every dent's a story told in summers
Every mile a race we won
Old cars they hum a song worth keeping
Long after the new ones fade
[Bridge]
Saturdays we wrench and we rebuild
Ignition hits like thunder on the hill
She don't need a screen or satellite
Just a tank of gas and open sky
[Chorus]
Old cars don't die they just get older
Chrome and patience in the sun
Every dent's a story told in summers
Every mile a race we won
Old cars they hum a song worth keeping
Long after the new ones fade
Long after the new ones fade
Oh they fade
