Tom Waits - The Pontiac

Well, let's see... we had the eh Fairlane. Then the u-joints went out on that,
and the bushings. And then your mother wanted to trade it in on the Tornado,
so we got the Tornado. God, I hated the color of that sonufa bitch! And
the dog destroyed the upholstery on the Ford. Boy, that was long before you
were born. We called it the Yellowbird, two-door, three on the tree. Tight
little mother. Threw a rod, sold it to Jacobs for a hundred dollar

Now the special eh... four-holer, you've never seen body panels line up
like that. Overhead cam, dual exhaust. You know I had... let's see I had...
four Buicks, loved 'em all

Now your Uncle Emmet, well he drives a Thunderbird, it used to belong to your
Aunt Evelyn. Well, she ruined it, drove it to Indiana with no gear oil. That
was the end of that! Sold that Cadillac to your mom. Your mom loved that
Caddy. Independent rear suspension, Landau top, good tires. Gas hog. I swear
it had the power to repair itself

I loved the Olds... Dan Steele used to give 'em to me at a discount. Showroom
models and that. And then there was the Pontiac and...

God, I loved that Pontiac.
Well, it was kind of an oxblood god
but It handled so beautifully.
Yeah, I miss that car.
Well, that was a long time ago
a long time ago
