Truckstop Souvenir: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Dennis promised Lauryn when they sold 100,000 copies of their first album he was going to buy her a baby blue 1962 Ford Falcon and a matching Danelectro guitar. She doesn't have her car or guitar yet, but got a fun song out of the deal.

Chorus:
Baby’s gonna buy me a car
When we make it big as country music stars
Playing every night, on the road every day
Baby’s gonna buy me a car.

Don’t have us a real job to pay off these debts
So when they ask us to play, lord, we take what we can get
Not sure how long we can carry on this way
But with that first big hit, one thing you can bet.

Yeah, Baby’s gonna buy me a car

A mountain sky blue Falcon from 1962
And a Danelectro in exactly the same hue
Though we never seem to drive past the outskirts of town
Plan to go in style when we do.

Cause Baby’s gonna buy us a car ...

For the love of the beer, well he’d do most anything
And for the love of the whiskey, I’d sell my grandma’s wedding ring
Don’t have much to show for the life that we lead
But man you should hear us sing.

And Baby’s gonna buy us a car ...
