lyrics

I bought this bucket of bolts and rattles and rust
It goes where I point it and that’s all that it needs to do
People tell me that it drives like a tank, so I guess it must
And tonight I’m going to drive it away with you

We don’t have too many places we can go
People are always telling us to move on
But here inside this metal box we can head out on the road
And no one’s gonna notice that we’re gone

I don’t know how long this time is gonna last
But I’ll make it as long as I can
And we’ll make love in the light
Of the aftermarket radio installed in the dash
Of the telephone company surplus Econoline van

Here’s a nice place we can call our own for a little while
Just sitting in the night with some music on the radio
Though the lights are off I can still make out your pretty smile
When you’re lying here against me, reflected in the panel glow

I don’t know how long this time is gonna last
But I’ll make it as long as I can
And we’ll make love in the light
Of the aftermarket radio installe in the dash
Of the telephone company surplus Econoline van

I treasure this time when the world goes away & we’re left all alone
No one sees, we can make this night our own

At the end of a difficult day we can be here in the dark
Help each other shed our heavy load
Paradise is nothing but a place to park
Down at the lonely end of a country road
I don’t know how long this time is gonna last
But I’ll make it as long as I can
And we’ll make love in the light
Of the aftermarket radio installed in the dash
Of the telephone company surplus Econoline van
