lyrics

800 hundred dollars and a bottle of gin
Couldn’t tell where the rust stopped and the paint would begin
You brought it home bronze but you swore it was gold
A true 1970 sight to behold

Well the stick shift was supposed to read 8
But that pool ball said 6 which was great

My hand out the window, my head in the clouds
Cassette in the tape deck the music up loud
My feet on the dashboard the wind in our hair
When I close my eyes and I still picture me there
In the passenger chair

Surf wax and sand stuck in every crack
No trace of a seatbelt. It was hell in the back
My sister would crouch when you’d drop us at school
But I was a kid, so I thought it was cool

I’d learn to drive it somewhere down the line
Then by 18 that car would be mine

I came home from school, the car wasn’t there
Mum said you sold it and I cursed you I swear
‘Cause a Cortina Ghia, well it just ain’t the same
As an LC Torana with a slightly warped frame

Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
