Winton Flyer

I saw her in the square today So beautiful was she I could not turn away I longed to touch and smell and feel her chrome plating Glittering in the sun she is shining with waiting
So Luster, Jule, and I, we planned We'd steal that car somehow and drive across the land Take a trip to New Orleans the maybe down to Texas We'd be three vagabonds; the law would never catch us
We'd sing: Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
And so we put our plan to test Waited till the owner took his weekly train out west He left the car entrust to old Edwin McDowne Jule got him drunk, I took the keys and we drove out of town
Sun on our faces and the wind blows through our hair Luster forgot the map but we'll end up somewhere These are the cards of chance we thought we'd never hold Three roguish thieves at just eleven years old
We're singing: Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Winton Flyer won't you take me away I've been too young for too long Although I realize I may have hell to pay It's worth this feeling ringin' through me like a song
Like a song now singing: Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
