lyrics

My old bomb and I have trips of which you could only dream
We’ve been around this circuit now for years and years it seems
I top her up with oil and she tops me up with hope
We hug around the corners as her steering wheel I grope

I wouldn’t be without her and she wouldn’t be with me
Our love well it’s gone the mileage, we’re stable so you see
I couldn’t see her stolen by some young hoodlum child
We were burning up the highway well before they were alive

Pedal to metal and foot to the gas
Who knew it’d be love at first sight?
Windshield is sharing our horizons
And I think it’ll take quite some time

I live on the backseat, who needs a house?
A simple stop for petrol is all that I need now
Got a roof for my head, holders for my cup
When I think enough about it, I know that it’s enough

But then one day it came to a stop
A once strong engine let out a cough
We were for life
Don’t leave me alone
Alone

One strong kick in the wheels was all it really took
I shook my head and cursed a lot and gave a dirty look
We made up then started on that long and windy road
You’re my old bomb and I love you more as every new day goes
