Name: Little Red Escort
Duration: P00H03M55S
Description: It's a song about my first car, which was big and spirit but little in size. It was often falling apart, but despite the jokes, it could handle itself in two feet of snow, haul music equipment, and survive off-roading on the Bamber Lake fire trails deep in the pines of New Jersey. The car was a legend.

It's a song about my first car, which was big and spirit but little in size. It was often falling apart, but despite the jokes, it could handle itself in two feet of snow, haul music equipment, and survive off-roading on the Bamber Lake fire trails deep in the pines of New Jersey. The car was a legend.

lyrics

Don't dis my car
Or I'll step on your face
Gonna get a new paint job
Soon as I get out of this place

You don't know what it's like

It’s loosing water and burning oil
Held together by duct tape and foil
Sometimes I wish I could drive that thing right
Off a bridge

Hate songs about cars now
Hate my song about my car
There's just too much pain not to say it
Too much lemon to lemonade it

You don't know what it's like

Got an internal combustion F eternal
Got body panels that are external
Sometimes I wish I could drive that thing right
Into a tree

I got more insurance then I got car
Why the hell do I gotta drive to the bar?
I’d join them in flight, if those pigs could fly

So don't dis my car
Or I'll step on your face
Gonna get a new paint job
Soon as I get out of this place

You don't know what it's like

Stalled on the shoulder; and they just mock me
But engine failure ain’t gonna stop me

So don’t dis my car
Don’t dis my car
Don’t dis
Don’t dis my car
Don’t dis
Don’t dis my
