[Verse 1]
Bucket seats
seatbelt squeak
rust on the frame
but the soul run deep
Gramps in the driveway
cussin’ that choke
Foot on the gas
whole house in smoke
Windows crank
wrist get strong
Radio fade
but we still sing along
Check engine light?
Man, that’s just Tuesday
Kick that door twice
we back on the thruway
[Chorus]
Old cars vs new cars
which one really get you far
One got creaks
but a heart like a star
One got screens
that be talkin’ to the car
I want steel in a storm
not just code in a jar
Old cars vs new cars
one smell like dust and tar
Other park itself
while you scroll on your phone
But the beat in my chest
like a V8 tone (yeah)
[Verse 2]
New whip talk back
“Stay in your lane”
Glow in the dash
like a video game
Heated seats, three modes
you can change the rain
But you tradein’ your gut
for a guided brain
Old ride stallin’
but we learned patience
Busted odometer
still took vacations
Every mile a story
scratched in the paint
Every dent say
“Kid, you ain’t made of glass, you ain’t”
[Chorus]
Old cars vs new cars
which one really get you far
One got creaks
but a heart like a star
One got screens
that be talkin’ to the car
I want steel in a storm
not just code in a jar
Old cars vs new cars
can’t judge from afar
You can whisper with wires
or you roar with the chrome
Either way it’s the ride
that gon’ get you home (hey)
