American Cars Lyrics

Original Lyrics

I was workin' on a plan to disappear completely Gaslightin' my friends into thinkin' I was busy 'Cause if drinkin' was a day job, I'd be askin' for more money Hell, I never take a day off, and I'm always sellin' somethin' Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A Didn't know you drove American cars Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day But you're here and we're so grateful you are 'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up 'Cause, honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask And I hate to drag you back here, but I think he's really lost it He's been sittin' on the porch, oh, ranting like a prophet And I can't stand the nights, yeah, that dinner time silence I cut the tension with a knife, and I pray you started drivin' Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A Didn't know you drove American cars Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day But you're home and I'm so grateful you are 'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up Honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough You know that I missed you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask Make him talk, make it stop, all I want is a dialogue Oh, we're drownin' here, I've gotta stay for Mom Make the house a home, you know how to talk Well, you did back then, we would talk so much And it's fine we don't, but can you come home? 'Cause you gotta fix this, you gotta patch it up 'Cause, baby, we're fragile, you always were so tough You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask Oh, whenever I ask Oh, whenever I ask, whenever I ask
