about

This song is not about a car.

lyrics

new car (dane/chapman)

i get a new car every morning
drive it to work most every day
and if i spill my tea or coffee
i know the stain will go away

in my new car that i didn’t pay for
like a movie star the ones we all adore

i start my new car every morning
people say it isn’t fair
and i agree i don’t deserve it
though i look like a millionaire

in my new car that i didn’t pay for
like a movie star the ones we all adore

i remember the dreaded carwash
and the feeling when somebody nicked the paint
and the time when the windshield wipers fell off
they fell off in the rain

as i look back i often question
could i ever keep it clean
and even with my best intentions
you could always find some streaks

but not on my new car that i didn’t pay for
like a movie star that we adore
where did it come from i can’t be sure
but this is my car the kind you can’t ignore
