Hey all...re-posting in here cause I know not everyone goes to every
thread:-)

Would anyone know who sings the song with a red mustang at the end of
the driveway and the boy wishes for the car, then his father
buys it for him, then the father dies. I think it's called the Car... or
the red mustang...but apparently my buddy says it's not called The red
mustang.

It's a country song from the 90's I believe..and if you know who sings
it too it would be great.

I believe its called- the car,
sorry dont remember by who though.
Good song!

I heard it. But you have to go to someone who knows this kind of country
trivia. We have one in local TNT paper. But I do not know when I could
find it and get back to you. Go to www.google.com and type in questions
like how to find country western songs......just a thought....

website is en.allexperts.com......typed in question on
google.com......how to find names of country wester songs in the
90's.....and up it popped

It was Jeff Carson...and the song is The Car.

Here ya go darlin!!!!!!!!!!!




The Car


Boy, I'd love to have that car, I whispered to my Dad.
I've always heard a Mustang flies.
We could fix it up and make it new again.
All it needs is just a little time.
Dad is hardly ever home since Momma passed away.
He's always working overtime.
I know that he cannot afford to buy that car,
Even though he'd love to make it mine.
It's not the car that I'm needing,
Just the chance to be with him.
I know that once these days roll past us,
They will never come again.
So little time and we spend way too much apart.
There would always be a part of us together in that car.

I finally let go of that dream and the time we could have shared.
It was a distant memory.
Until last fall a call came saying Dad was gone,
Could I come quick; he left a note for me.
Buried Dad right next to Mom up on Crowley's Ridge,
And there I said my last goodbye.
I opened up the note and found a set of keys.
"Here's your car, son, I hope it flies."

It's not the car that you're needing,
But just the chance to be with him.
I hope you understand I always did,
The best that I could do.
So little time and we spent way too much apart.
An' there will always be a part of us together in that car.
There will always be a part of us together in that car.

Just reading the words to that song brings tears to my eyes just as if I
was listening to it. It is one of my daughter's favorite songs.
