I bought a beat-up Mustang
From a guy behind the Five-and-Dime
Revved it til both my ears bled
it was the winter of '69

Me and some girls from school
Had some tools and we worked real hard
Katie quit, and Marlea got tetnus
Should have worn gloves on the rusty parts

Oh when I look back
That restoration seemed to take forever
And if I had a choice
Ya- I'd have rather had an old Fiesta
Those were the worst days of my life

I got used to complainin'
'Bout all the work I had to do
Spent my money down at the parts store
And where the hell were you-YA!

Standing on your mother's porch
You told me we were in together
Then you disappeared
This project's going to take forever
Those were the worst days of my life
Back in the summer of '89

Man we were killin' time
We were younge and stupid
Blowin' our last dime
On a project that will last forever-forever NOOO!!

Even though nothings changin'
All the cash I made has come and gone
Sometimes when I work on that Mustang
Think about you and how the car's all wrong

Standing on your mother's porch
You told me we were in together
Then you disappeared
This project's going to take forever
Those were the worst days of my life
Now it's the summer of 2009
Me and my Mustang need more time...
