My first car was a little yellow Datsun
Holes in the seat, cracks in the fuel line
An old air freshener shaped like a pine tree
Used coke cans rattling behind me
With a ripped up Melways and a bag of dirty clothes
Because of all the petrol fumes
I couldn't drive with the window's closed
So, I like driving with the window down
Stereo on, singing with it loudly
And you're sitting with your feet on the dash
Trying to tell me something, all I hear is Johnny Cash
Weekend ahead of me, you're sitting next to me
All of our troubles are somewhere behind me
Two kids getting rowdy
Driving out of town with the window down
My next car had a crack in the radiator
Left a little puddle on the street where I'd park her
Lemonade bottles that were filled up with water
Strong smell of sweat from the previous owner
He tried to tell me that to keep the engine cool
You've got to drive around in summer time with the heater on full bore
So, I like driving with the window down
Stereo on, singing with it loudly
And you're sitting with your feet on the dash
Trying to tell me something, all I hear is Johnny Cash
Weekend ahead of me, you're sitting next to me
All of our troubles are somewhere behind me
Two kids getting rowdy
Driving out of town with the window down
And she's always beside me
Even when I'm breaking down
Shouting out directions
And trying to read a map upside down
Now we get around in a little Kia Rio
Bought brand new in 2003
It goes pretty good and it gets pretty far
It works pretty well for a family car
And sometimes I pretend that we're still in the Datsun
Feel the wind rushing through my hair
Like a in a time back when I had some
So, we like driving with the window down
Stereo on, singing with it loudly
And you're sitting with your feet on the dash
Trying to tell me something, all I hear is Johnny Cash
Weekend ahead of me, you're sitting next to me
All of our troubles are somewhere behind me
Where our kids are getting rowdy
You and me darlin' with the window down
Kids in the back with the window down
Still getting 'round with the window down
