I Got A Car - George Strait

She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress

Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess

With a story that could only be anybody's guess

And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance

But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said

Hey, I don't know you but I'd kinda like a shot

She said, I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over

And OK, so now what

And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something

At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing

I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are

And she said, where do you think all this is going

I said, there ain't no way of knowing

I guess I hadn't thought it through that far

But I got a car

So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down

We let ourselves go all the way through town

She never said stop and I never asked her why

We drove into the night, when outta nowhere

She said, I'd give anything to never go back there

And I kinda wish this day would never end

She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where

And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something

At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing

I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are

And she said, where do you think all this is going

I said, there ain't no way of knowing

I really hadn't thought it through that far

And I can't promise you the moon and stars

But I got a car

We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days

'Til we finally found a stopping place

When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way?

And we found ourselves in a little white house

One Sunday morning, rain pouring down

She said, I think it's time but all the lines are out

And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now?

And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something

You think it'll start, I said, it's already running

Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are

She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'?

I said, if there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far

And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
