Hudson Commodore

[Verse 1]

In the time between the glory days and the golden years

She did the work of twenty able men

Sent Tommy off to school to be an engineer

And Sarah went to try out all her sins

She took to takin' tea out in the Belvedere

Bourbon in the evenings by the fire

As if The Great Depression never made it here

As if she had defeated her desire

[Chorus]

She just wanted to ride in a Delahaye 135

She just wanted to ride in a Hudson Commodore

No need to worry anymore

[Verse 2]

A doctor, then a lawyer, then a Roosevelt

Tried to take her underneath the wing

When she was in her twenties in the Bible Belt

Before she knew she didn't need a thing

She didn't need their pity on a single girl

She didn't need their help to raise the brood

She wouldn't be returning to her daddy's world

She didn't want a better attitude

[Chorus]

She just wanted to ride in a Delahaye 135

She just wanted to ride in a Hudson Commodore

No need to worry anymore

[Outro]

She just wanted to ride in a Delahaye 135

She just wanted to ride in a Hudson Commodore

No need to worry anymore
