Lyrics
'65 Continental
That jack-ass judge gave her the keys
To my '65 Continental.
Don't take my baby please,
But she laughed and said "Get a rental."
She took my cash, she took my pride,
But when she took my car, I cried.
Suicide doors and twenty-two's,
No I thought I'd never lose
My '65 Continental, '65 Continental.
She said, "You never cared for me,
Like your '65 Continental."
Now she's got custody,
And her dents won't be accidental.
She'll rip the seats and scratch the paint,
My ex-wife ain't no saint.
Now I toss and turn all night,
Wondering what she'll do for spite
To my '65 Continental, '65 Continental.
Oh, my Continental ain't living here no more,
Just a little black stain on the concrete floor.
I get a sentimental pain when I hear the roar
Of a stinkin' Lincoln driving by,
Oh I miss my baby,
I miss my '65 Continental, '65 Continental.
Parked outside that pick-up bar,
Sat my '65 Continental.
I didn't plan to steal the car,
It was purely coincidental.
But she left the keys in open view,
What was I supposed to do?
Now I'm driving down the road
To a border town I know,
In my '65 Continental, '65 Continental.
