Said goodbye to that car
That took a bullet in the roof in New Haven
That saw our sad estrangement
Idling there on the pavement
119,657 and the engine blew
119,657 and I thought of you
Said goodbye to that car
In the cul-de-sac
Said goodbye to that car
Took the plates off the back
Pulled of the charms and the beads
Unceremoniously
It was the end of an era
I kicked off the rear view mirror
From the first date running
To the rust stains and the cracks
I watched the heap of metal
Lose its sun as the sky turned black
119,657 and the engine blew
119,657 and I thought of you
Said goodbye to that car
As the sky turned black
Said goodbye to that car
Took the plates off the back
119,657 and the engine blew
119,657 and I thought of you
119,657 and the engine blew
119,657 and I thought of you
119,657 and I thought of you
