You’re Just A Car

Words & Music ©1996 by Rik Palieri

Chorus:
D
You’re just a car, You’ll be a truck someday,
                                 E7      A
Then You’ll be driving down your own highway.
D
You won’t  be listening to what I say,
                               A7
You’re just a car, you’ll be a truck someday.

Verse:
Bm                      A
There was a time, I was just like you. 
G                   D
I could hardly fill my own shoes.
Bm                    A                      
Those were days I was bound to lose,
C                            A
When I all I did was cry the blues,

Chorus

Then I got older, and life got worse,
Like I was under some mean old curse,
A lonely Frog, near a wishing well, waiting for a kiss to break my spell.

Chorus

Then one day, I got the gift of song.
My eyes opened, when I sang along.
The clouds had lifted, the night had gone,
The first time I sang my own song.

Chorus

Well, I can’t tell you and I don’t know,
Which is the right road for you to go.
Just live by the school, that you were taught,
and sing with the love that is in your heart

Chorus
