Lyrics
The road led to the ocean, the road led to the docks
The road led to the ocean, and another road led to the docks
Where the boats were floating and floating and floating and floating
Boats were floating repetitively, emphasizing a continuous scene
The wind was blowing really hard, it was too cold to have the top down
The strong wind made it too cold to have the car's top down
But they kept on going and going and going and going
Despite the weather, they persisted in their journey
I remember it well, they were in Eddie Gillespie's car
Recollection of the event, they were in Eddie Gillespie's car
The girl lived in a blue house, it looked like church with flat roof
The girl's residence was a distinctive blue house resembling a church with a flat roof
Everyone there was fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting
Conflict or tension among the residents in the blue house
One day outside on the front porch, she split a sandwich with her dad
A moment shared between the girl and her dad, dividing a sandwich
And his teeth were biting and biting and biting
Her dad's intense biting, possibly metaphorical, during the shared meal
Until he suddenly stopped, he saw Eddie Gillespie's car
The dad stopped abruptly, noticing Eddie Gillespie's car
He said, I don't think I've ever seen a car that looks like that
Expressing surprise at the unique appearance of Eddie Gillespie's car
My brother probably knows a guy who has a friend who has one
Suggesting a connection to someone who might know about such cars
Such a splendid spectacle so rare and so unique
Describing the car as a splendid and rare spectacle
Maybe I will get one of my own someday myself
Contemplating the possibility of owning a similar car in the future
Eddie Gillespie's car
Reiteration of the central theme - Eddie Gillespie's car
The old man went out on the stage, it was to be the last time
An elderly man's final appearance on stage
Everyone there was clapping and clapping applauding and laughing
Positive audience response with clapping and laughter
Oh he went up to the microphone, but he had drawn a blank
The man faced a mental block at the microphone
His mind was wandering wandering wandering wondering
His mind wandered, possibly reminiscing about the past
About that time that he, had seen Eddie Gillespie's car
Recollection of a moment when he saw Eddie Gillespie's car
He said, I don't think I've ever seen a car that looks like that
Similar to earlier, expressing surprise at the car's appearance
My brother probably knows a guy who has a friend who has one
Reference to a potential connection who might know about the car
Such a splendid spectacle so rare and so unique
Reiteration of the car as a splendid and rare spectacle
Maybe I will get one of my own someday myself
Rekindling the desire to own a similar car in the future
Eddie Gillespie's car
Final mention of Eddie Gillespie's car, reinforcing its significance
Eddie Gillespie's car
Repeating the name of the car as a concluding emphasis
