[Verse 1]
Well, I remember stallin' out in the driveway just learnin' how
To work a clutch and ease out on the gas
It wasn't much to talk about, all dented up and broken down
But I was still a wide eyed boy, just proud of what I had
When I turned fourteen, and Daddy told me
That we could make it mine, me and him would make her shine
[Chorus]
That good ol' '73 Volkswagen Beetle
The one that me and my old man always dreamed about
There in that passenger seat, I can always see him
I roll the windows down and take the long way to the house
'Cause there's no place that I'd rather be
Than drivin' that '73 Volkswagen Beetle
That Volkswagen Beetle, yeah
[Verse 2]
Yeah, a bunch of time and money spent, and somehow, we just never did
Finish that old hot rod up while we had the chance
'Cause I moved out and life moved on, next thing I knew, my dad had gone
Home to be with Jesus, it was hard to understand
Just what the hours spent in that garage would mean to me
Now every Sunday chance I get, I ride around and sing in
[Chorus]
That good ol' '73 Volkswagen Beetle
The one that me and my old man always dreamed about
There in that passenger seat, I can always see him
I roll the windows down and take the long way to the house
'Cause there's no place that I'd rather be
Than drivin' that '73 Volkswagen Beetle
That Volkswagen Beetle, yeah
[Bridge]
Now I got myself a couple boys of my own
I'll pass it down, we'll ride around
The way we used to roll in
[Chorus]
That good ol' '73 Volkswagen Beetle
The one that me and my old man always dreamed about
There in that passenger seat, I can always see him
I roll the windows down and take the long way to the house
'Cause there's no place that I'd rather be
Than drivin' that '73 Volkswagen Beetle
That Volkswagen Beetle
[Outro]
Oh, we'll ride around
In that Volkswagen Beetle
