Car Crazed
It just doesn’t matter
how much gas costs,
we keep driving
because we love our cars.
It just doesn’t matter
our roads are crumbling,
we keep driving
because we love our cars.
It just doesn’t matter
our bridges are collapsing
we keep driving
because we love our cars.
It’s not like the old days
when some of us were Ford guys,
some believed in other cars,
but we were brand loyal,
not like today
when money determines
the car you can afford.
