A Deep Dive Into My Teenage Mind (From The Vault)

Old Chevrolet

A man 

Called his wife after work 

But he heard a man's voice 

So he hung up the phone and rushed home 

He slammed the door once he got inside 

Took one look at his wife cheating on him 

She begged and pleaded that it wasn't what he thought 

I should have known when you needed to stay later 

You just needed someone there to mash your taters 

He grabbed his car keys and told her that he will be on his way 

She begged for him to stay and give her a second chance 

But he left and went back to Texas to start over 

The only thing that was left from his was a letter that read 

I have nothing left to say 

I'll always miss the way you called me babe 

But you know the style of my old Chevrolet 

But now that I can no longer call you my miss 

That'll be the last thing for me to miss 

Goodbye 

I hope that time will fly 

He went back home and visited his parents 

Got a job and got his own portrait 

But all he could is tolerate it 

She took every part of him and shattered it into pieces 

He apologized to himself for many months until he gave up 

Broke his favorite coffee mug that was made by her 

He was ready to move on but he didn't know how 

So he started where it was always going to be about them 

Never just going to be about friends or her 

That was what brought him back to the fine line 

As he sat there and he always wondered why 

Is it his fault that she didn't want him and would lie 

He got a letter in the mail from her that read 

I didn't mean to hurt you the way that I did 

I miss you and I want you to come back to me 

We can carve our names into the same old tree 

Just come back to me Oliver 

He got his hatchet and he went to his backyard 

Cut down every tree and smiled about what he felt 

He went back inside and crumpled up the piece of paper 

Left the house to go move on and now he knows how 

As long as she will always have something to say 

She'll love him for having his old red Chevrolet 

So he called her and they have been together for years 

Laying in the eternity together for eternity
