Pop works in the shop till late Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate Sally's doing summersaults on the lawn Pop slams open the front screen door Just to scare mom she says "What the hell'd you do that for?" he washes his dirty hands in the sink Things around the table are kinda rough Ma says it's pa, pa says times are just tough And me and Sally don't see much of nothing at all And the garage door light brightens up the night Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight As if he could figure out that woman by working on that old car He said a car can cure any problem at all Cause seeing all those parts makes a fight look so small But I wish he'd put me and Sally in the backseat and drive us away That's when he sits me down said he's gonna teach me about life He said a man needs a car and a boy needs a bike I got my first taste of freedom beneath the light of the moon Letras de canciones But if it were me, I'd have the guts, I'd put to test those bolts and nuts And I'd ride away so fast, so far We put away our tools and go back inside Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry I wonder if all girls are crazy this way I wish pops would just get a spine I said "I know it's little but you can borrow mine" He just smiles and says "Your mom means well, son" Most times are good; it's just some that are lean But love makes up for those times in between He got a tear in his eye as he took mama's hand Said one day I'd understand But if it were me, I'd have the guts, I'd put to test those bolts and nuts And I'd ride away so fast, so far Ride away so fast, so far Ride away...
