lincoln continental

when i was a child

my mother said to me

you can't spend all your days alone

in the shade of a cherry tree

my brother cut the roof off a lincoln

'cause a doctor said lose some weight

and the tape of buck owens

our hair was blowing

as we drove from the garden state

to the lights of the golden gate

i've been missing you

so listen

i'd like to ask you could you drive to town?

and i've been thinking about your lincoln

continental with the sun roof down

when the kid came down from lennox

yeah yawning was the talk of the town

a real high roller

a self promoter

said his band was the best around

he said

i got a little money from performing
