American Cars — Lyrics

Artist: Noah Kahan

Album: The Great Divide


I was working on a plan To disappear completely Gaslighting my friends Into thinkin' I was busy 'Cause if drinking was a day job I'd be asking for more money And I never take a day off And I'm always selling something Headlights, your plates 4CB3A Didn't know you drove American cars Ray-Bans on your face You've been drivin' all day But you're here and we're so grateful you are 'Cause you're gonna fix it You're gonna patch it up 'Cause honey we're fragile You've always been so tough You know that I've missed you You always come running back Whenever I ask Whenever I ask And I hate to drag you back here But I think he's really lost it He's been sitting on the porch Oh ranting like a prophet And I can't stand the nights Yeah, that dinner time silence I cut the tension with a knife And I pray you started drivin' Headlights, your plates 4CB3A Didn't know you drove American cars Ray-Bans on your face You've been drivin' all day But you're home, and I'm so grateful you are 'Cause you're gonna fix it You gotta patch it up Honey we're fragile You always were so tough You know that I've missed you You always come running back Whenever I ask Whenever I ask Make him talk Make it stop All I want Is a dialogue Or we're drownin' here I've gotta stay for Mom Make the house a home You know how to talk What you did back then We would talk so much And it's fine we don't But can you come home 'Cause you gotta fix this You're gonna patch it up 'Cause baby we're fragile You've always were so tough You know that I miss you You always come running back Whenever I ask Whenever I ask You know that I miss you You always come running back Whenever I ask Whenever I ask Oh, whenever I ask Oh, whenever I ask Whenever I ask
