Lyrics

This Car Of Mine

[Verse 1]

This car of mine

A-when I got her now she wasn't new

Old and broke now

This car of mine

There's been a lot of races we been through

No slow-poke now

I never wanna part with her, you see

This little car means a heck of a lot to me

[Chorus]

This car of mine

[Verse 2]

I remember the day

A-when I chose her over all those old, broken junkers

But I could tell

Underneath a coat of rust, she was gold

No clunker

Just couldn't wait to take her home with me

And fix her up just as new as she could be

[Chorus]

This car of mine

This car of mine

This car of mine

This car of mine

[Bridge]

Ain't no amount of gold in any mine

Would be enough to take away this car of mine (This car of mine)

[Outro]

This car of mine

Oh, this car of mine

She's so, so fine now

This car

This car, so fine now

Mmm, she's so—
