they didn't ever say where we were going
we just climbed into the backseat
eyes wide open to the picture show outside
i guess we really didn't understand it all
remember looking up at them in the front row
hands touched together
almost outta sight
it's been a long
hard week but now the slow release
of a sunday afternoon
and we were only young but they were trying hard to reach us
how was i to know that there was something so worth keeping?
'cause we were
watching the world through an open window
trees lined up like dominoes
this old car could find its own way home
it's the ordinary things that mean so much
that's where i learned it all
from them
to fight
to love
to laugh again
man
i thought we were only wasting time
out on a sunday drive
the song warms your soul just like an old friend
singing songs along that ribbon of a road
and everyone you love is sitting there
so close
you're never thinking that you'd ever get old
no
you'll never get old
just watching the world through an open window
trees lined up like dominoes
this old car could find its own way home
it's the ordinary things that mean so much
that's where i learned it all
from them
to fight
to love
to laugh again
man
i thought we were only wasting time
out on a sunday drive
oh
i never said where we were going
i just helped them to the back seat
dad
just laughed and said
son
