lyrics

I used to drive this old car
it would not get you too far
but it would get me to my destinations
all made of rusty old parts
but it would still always start
it could go on without motivation
unless it got really cold
then it would show it was old
by shutting down while I scraped the windshield
but that all made sense to me
it was from like ‘93
drove okay even if not ideal

I don’t ask too much of this car
and it gives me what I need
consistency to work and back
that forgives all its misdeeds, for me

I was unreasonably pissed
I kicked my car, didn’t miss
left one big dent in its silver body
I’m not a strong guy at all
don’t know what gave me the gall
but now I made this thing look so shoddy
then in this one parking lot
the other side somehow got caught
scraping against a concrete corner
look at those scratches there
it’s really worse for the wear
but it’s just cosmetic, not such a horror

I don’t ask too much of this car
and it gives me what I need
consistency to work and back
that forgives all its misdeeds, mostly

after I drove it a lot
the engine got really dang hot
and made weird noises when it got started
I could deal with it just fine but
I’m told that’s not a good sign
get it checked out, don’t be half-hearted
I went to get it repaired
and after I took it there
the mechanic gave me a look of frustration
said, I don’t think it will survive
your car is not safe to drive
I recommend public transportation

My guess is that you know me for my YTPs or Wonky Angle reviews if anything, but I've been making music for far longer than I've been making videos. This is the place where I take my favorites from the music I've made and post it for people to listen to. It's all royalty-free/creative commons, btw, use however you like, just give credit :) Hope you enjoy. ... more

Minecraft - Volume Beta
by C418

supported by 4 fans who also own “Drive?”

Though I have just as much nostalgia with Volume Alpha, I think this one is a little more nostalgic for me. I was primarily a creative mode player cause I sucked at survival mode for a while and I played the console versions a lot. It was not until quarantine came around that I played survival mode often. I own the CD and I pre-ordered the vinyl cause I love this album. AG319 Alt Acc
