New Black Car

Waiting tables at your restaurant job

An old man reads the paper in the booth where I stop

To say hello when I'm in town

Ask a friend if you're around

And I'm thinkin' about those summer nights

We never slept we didn't mind

And I felt so alive and happy

Just sitting on the porch

And swingin' back and forth

Now everything seems so distant

But I promise I'm not too far

When you're alone in your brand new car

Driving your new black car

Into the rain

Are you listening to the radio?

Are you driving down a city road?

Are you alone in your new black car?

I imagine you there

And I'm sitting by the window here

The morning birds will reappear

And I feel empty

And our songs are on the radio

You call me up but I have to go

And I'm sorry angel, I'm sorry

But I'll call you right back, I swear

You'll think I've left you there

Alone with an empty chair

But I whisper your name

Are you listening to the radio?

Are you driving down a city road?

Are you alone in your new black car?

I imagine you there

Are you listening to the radio?

Are you driving down a city road?

Back alone in your new black car?

The wind in your hair

Are you tired of watching the rain hit the glass?

All alone but aware of the places we've passed

Together we were singing along to the songs

Are you now, are you now?

I'm thinking of you in your college town

Are you thinking of me as you're driving around?

Are you listening to me, are you listening?

Are you listening to the radio?

Are you driving down a city road?

Are you alone in your new black car?

I imagine you there

Are you listening to the radio?

Are you driving down a winding road?

Are you alone in your new black car?
