Dean Winchester sat behind the wheel of his beloved Impala, the rumbling engine carrying him down the open road. Led Zeppelin blasted through the speakers, filling the car with their timeless rock 'n' roll. Dean couldn't help but tap his fingers on the steering wheel, completely immersed in the music.

Edythe, sitting in the passenger seat, turned down the volume for a moment. "Hey, Dean," she said with a playful smile. "Mind if I play a song?"

Dean looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What's wrong with Zeppelin? No one messes with my music, Edythe."

Edythe leaned in closer, a mischievous spark in her eyes. "Come on, Dean. Just listen to the lyrics. You might like it."

Dean hesitated, but the trust he had in Edythe made him nod. "Fine, but it better be good."

Edythe reached into her bag and pulled out her phone, connecting it to the cassette adapter. As the song started playing, Dean's curiosity grew.

"I'm still parked out by the lake Eighty miles from Santa Fe And I'm sittin' here just parked out by the lake"

Dean's eyes widened, and he glanced at Edythe. "What's this song about, Edythe? It's just repeating the same thing over and over again."

Edythe grinned and winked at him. "That's the joke, Dean. Listen carefully."

Dean furrowed his brow but decided to go along with it. He leaned back, trying to catch the subtle nuances in the lyrics as Edythe sang along.

"If you're wonderin' where I parked I'm out parked by the lake It's the lake that's eighty miles from Santa Fe And I'm parked out by the lake"

Dean's lips twitched with amusement as he started to catch on. He joined Edythe, adding his own voice to the mix.

"Eighty miles from Santa Fe It's the lake that's parked where I'm at out by the lake And this lake is where I'm parked"

The Impala rumbled with their laughter as they continued singing, both of them finding joy in the cleverness of the song.

"Eighty miles from Santa Fe And I'm still parked out here by this lake Eighty miles from Santa Fe"

Edythe turned to Dean, their voices blending seamlessly. "Do you remember that old lake? The one by Santa Fe That's where I'm at, I'm sitting out here parked"

Dean grinned, catching the punchline. "And I'm parked here by the lake Eighty miles from Santa Fe It's the lake that you remember where I park And I'm parked out by the lake"

As the song reached its climax, Dean and Edythe sang with all their hearts, their voices filling the car.

"Eighty miles from Santa Fe And it's the lake that's parked where I'm at out by the lake And this lake is where I'm parked Eighty miles from Santa Fe And I'm still parked out here by this lake"

Dean couldn't help but feel a surge of love for Edythe as they harmonized together, their laughter intermingling with the lyrics.

"And someday I'm gonna move But right now I'm parked And you know that lake out by Santa Fe, that's where I'm at, I'm parked Waitin' for you"

As the final chorus approached, their voices soared, carrying their shared happiness and inside joke.

"And you know that I'm parked out by the lake You remember that lake out by Santa Fe And I'm gonna sit here parked Out by this lake Out by this lake By the lake at Santa Fe I'm sittin' out here parked It's where I told you how I felt By the lake in Santa Fe"

The last notes faded, and Dean and Edythe shared a moment of silence, their smiles speaking volumes.

"Damn, Edythe," Dean finally said, his voice filled with admiration. "That song is something else. It's like our own secret code."

Edythe leaned in, her hand finding his. "That's what I love about it, Dean. It's our little secret, a reminder of the adventures we've shared and the places we've been."

Dean's heart swelled with affection as he squeezed her hand. "You and me, Edythe, parked out by the lake. That's the only place I want to be."

As Led Zeppelin resumed playing in the background, Dean turned up the volume, the music filling the Impala once again. With Edythe by his side, he knew that every journey, no matter how long or short, would always be filled with love, laughter, and memorable tunes.
