Texty: Greg Brown. Covenant. Blue Car.

I'm driving my blue car baby
Down from the mountain so high
I'm driving my blue car baby
Coming down to say goodbye

The sunrise is a miracle
But it can't hold a candle to you
Do you remember them rides in my blue car
Back when it was brand new

Well it's a good old car
But the clutch is a little loose
And the brakes are screaming
A song called what's the use
But it's good for one more trip
One more trip to you

The lightning's meant to strike
The tall pine trees
& the birds are meant to cry
& wheel in the breeze
But some things baby
I guess they just ain't meant to be

When i get back up on the mountain
I'll close my door against the wind
I'll park my old blue car
I may fall down the mountain
But i will never fall in love again
