This Old Car
Journey of Love: A Tireless Drive to Mend Hearts
Lyrics
I was willing to drive all the miles
I was willing to travel any distance
This old car could go just to show you
This aging car was capable, all to prove my feelings to you
How I miss you so
Expressing deep longing and yearning for you
If these tires could withstand the damage
If the tires could endure hardship
I'd take it so you wouldn't crack under pressure
I would endure challenges to prevent you from breaking under pressure
Oh, I love you so
Reiterating profound love and affection
If my windshield gets too dirty
If my perspective becomes unclear
I'll pray a little harder for the
I'll pray even harder for favorable circumstances
Rains to come, rains to come
Hoping for a positive change or improvement
If I drive all night I hope that you'll be
If I travel through the night, I hope you'll be waiting for me
Right there waiting for me
Anticipating your presence on the other side
On the other side, the other side
Referencing a metaphorical "other side" where reunion is expected
Even though my taillight is busted
Even with a broken taillight
I'll speed on and hope the cops don't pull me over
Willing to take risks and hoping to avoid consequences
Oh, I need you so
Expressing a profound need for your presence
Your doorstep calls my name
Your doorstep symbolizes a destination calling out to the speaker
How am I to blame
Questioning responsibility or guilt for the situation
Your doorstep calls my name
Repetition of the symbolic connection to the doorstep
How am I to blame
Continuing to question responsibility or guilt
Your doorstep calls my name
Reiterating the connection to the doorstep and questioning
How am I to blame
Continuing the theme of responsibility or guilt
Well, my windshield got too dirty
The windshield being dirty signifies obstacles
But that's alright, he heard me
Despite obstacles, there's a belief that someone is listening
Told the rains to come, rains to come
A request for positive change in circumstances
So I'll drive all night I know that you are
Confident that you'll be waiting on the other side after traveling
Right there waiting for me on
Reference to the anticipated destination or reunion
The other side, other side
Reiteration of the metaphorical "other side"
I am willing to drive all the miles
Expressing a continued willingness to make efforts
This old car could go just to show you
Repeating the sentiment of the car's capability to express love
How I miss you so
Reiterating the deep longing and yearning for you
