your father's car

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

when you borrow your father's car

doesn't matter how old you

you don't ever drive too far

when you borrow your father's car

and when you drink at your mother's house

have a couple

but don't get soused

you don't wanna play surrogate spouse with her

when you drink at your mother's house

you don't wanna make the old man boil

the jalopy needs a treatment royal

play it safe every time and check the oil

you don't wanna make the old man boil

and when your kids come to spend the weekend

and more and more that is becoming the trend

get rid of that new girlfriend till monday

when you r kids come to send the weekend

and if napping on your ex's futon

you know that's not where you belong

when you notice some new stains thereon

when you're napping on your ex's futon

because if you're traveling out of state

don't forget to check the license plate

i mean the sticker expiration date

when you're traveling out of state
