david wilcox – johnny’s camaro كلمات اغاني

“can i have another quarter?” he said
what?
“uh, can i have another quarter?”
why?
“uh, i dropped it”
ok
so she reached into her purse
and she handed him another quarter
and he tossed it out into the little toll basket there
and out came
johnny’s camaro
johnny’s camaro
johnny loved his camaro more than life itself
he was taking her to the airport
it was autumn in new york city
it was springtime in africa
see, she’d been saving her money
she was gonna go on one of these outward bound trips
so they wound their way through the airport
trying to look for a parking sp-ce
looking all over for a parking sp-ce
you see it takes two parking sp-ces
for johnny’s camaro
johnny’s camaro
now they’re winding their way through that vast airport
and johnny’s a little nervous
he’s looking over his shoulder
you know you can tell he was kinda nervous
she says “hey, you can go back, you know”
he says “no no that’s alright i’ll wait”
and he did
he waited until the plane took off
then he ran back
meanwhile she was high up over new york city
she was looking down at the lights of the buildings
she was looking down at the lights of the boats on the water
she was looking down at those little ribbons of lights
those cars moving so slowly
little diamond toward you and ruby away
one of those tiny little dots moving so slow
well, you know
man, the adventure she had in africa
i wanna tell you how she got that silver bracelet
i think it’s important, it was toward the beginning of the trip
when she had left the group for a minute
what? she just? what?
she had to pee and she just said
“i’ll be back in a little bit”
you know and the guide said
“well alright” you know but she didn’t come back for awhile
and he came to look for her
this wonderful african man, you know
“laura!”
he found her standing on the lowest branch of a fairly tall tree
“how you get up there?”
well she had jumped
“why?”
well there was a hyena
i mean you know about hyenas
they got the strongest jaws
i mean like to crush bone
and she wasn’t in a real confident position anyway
and it was just a matter of you know
you just run and the branch was there
and she jumped and one hand slipped but one hand held
and she was not coming down
he’s gone
so now she’s hanging with both arms straight
and her feet are four feet off the ground!
she didn’t know she could jump that high!
well she does now
i guess that’s why he gave her that bracelet
it was lots of changes like that
so that when she was gettin’ on the transporter bus
at the end of the trip to go back to the little airport
to go back to the big airport to go back to – well, you know
she, uh, she was making that last little cheesecake shot
out the window, flexin’ her muscle
see it was the kinda silver bracelet that you wear
kinda in the middle of your arm
you know, kind of between your elbow and your shoulder
he bent it down just a little bit to fit on her muscle there
so she was makin’ that muscle and leanin’ out the bus window
and he says “how you get up there?”
when she was dreaming over the ocean
she was dreaming of what would be the same
and what would never be the same
well, he wasn’t at the airport
at least not at first
must’ve been looking for a parking sp-ce
she walked down looking at the airport
feeling like it was kinda small actually
i mean the ceiling was kinda low
and everyone was gettin’ out of her way!
not sure why
well i guess you know since it had been winter in new york city
after all it had been summer in africa
all these people were bundled up
and well, she was just dressed normally, you know
with the hiking boots and the shorts and the tank top
and her hair tied back and the knife on her belt
and that silver bracelet
i think it was the silver bracelet, actually
but then he was there
just as that backpack came rollin’ down that old baggage claim
there was this arm saying “i can get that”
she said “so can i, hey, it’s good to see ya”
and she put that backpack on and they went out
lookin’ around new york city
good god!
and finally the vehicle there
and carefully nestled the backpack in the drunk
so the buckles don’t scratch
and then she’s lookin’ out the window
she’s lookin’ all around
she’s lookin’ up
she’s leanin’ out the window just smellin’ that air
feelin’ those old memories come back
and she’s lookin’ back behind her
she’s leanin’ out the window even farther
kind of watching the lights reflected on the back of the car
and lookin’ at the headlights behind her
and then suddenly the window starts to come open
it startles her
she kind of pulls herself back in and sure enough
johnny’s got his finger mashed on the power window b-tton
and he’s looking at her like
“will you get your feet off the upholstery?”
oh yeah the upholstery, she forgot
how could she forget? well she forgot
she’d been in africa
but she put her feet down
as a matter of fact she put her feet down very politely
as a matter of fact she folded her hands in her lap
as a matter of fact, well, she turned her face to one side
so she could feel that plush upholstery brush against her cheek
and as she watched in the side window
the reflection of the dancing lights of the graphic equalizer
on the stereo and watched the lone bead of water
make its way across the perfectly waxed surface
she knew that she was going to really enjoy this ride
enjoy this last ride
in johnny’s camaro
johnny’s camaro!
