He came to me out of the blue ~ no, it was really green
The green Roadrunner that he drove, most beautiful I'd seen
At first when he would look at me, then I would look right past
'Cause I was looking at his car, and thinking is it fast
After we started dating, I was glad there was an us
I cared for him a lot, but that sweet car was such a plus
When looking forward to our date, I never had to deal
With any of his friends who might end up as a third wheel
He then asked me to marry him and with my head he'd mess
He said my gift would be his car if I would just say yes
I sure loved how that car had brought this man into my life
But could we still go parking in the car if I'm his wife
We married and we built a house, we raced and still had fun
When baby news arrived, the car and racing days were done
We had three kids and six grandkids that almost are all grown
And I'm thankful for family, the greatest love I've known
So when I think how fast it's gone, it's followed by some tears
On May 18th, we two will then be married 50 years
And when I reminisce sometimes, I needn't go too far
'Cause every now and then, I'll stop and think about that car
