Lou Christie – If My Car Could Only Talk lyrics
She met me at the station 'cause I'm comin' home on my leave
I'll let her use my xke
So she could drive around & think of me.
Baby, I'm home, you look surprised
I see it on your face
Where's the old crowd? Do they still hang out at the pizza place?
A flash of suspicion, you found a new way of kissin'

Chorus:
(Watch your step, Sarah Jane, I'll catch you yet) Sarah Jane
(Watch your step, Sarah Jane, I'll catch you yet)
Sarah Jane, if my car could only talk to me
If my car could only talk to me
It would tell me 'bout you, baby
(Where you are, baby)

When I cleaned my car I found pictures from the penny arcade
In my ashtray.
Underneath the seat I found a cigarette lighter
Engraved "Love, You're baby--Sarah Jane"
Since I've been home, I found evidence of a love affair.
Tickets to the drive-in show,
A fool but once, this I swear
Don't make excuses & cry.
I can't stand girls that lie

[Chorus:]

(These eyes, these eyes, these eyes these eyes)

[Chorus:]

So a toast to red, white & blue
I saved my ring finding out that we were through
Breakin' up is so hard to do.
Walk away before I start crying too

Baby I'm gone.

    This is the third part of Lou Christie’s Lightning’ Strikes trilogy with Coda. Lightnin’ Strikes is about a callous young man who wants a main girl (Sarah Jane) but also wants to play around with any girl who is receptive to him, or omising marriage to her one day after he’s sown his wild oats. Rhapsody in the Rain is a song about his affair with the unnamed Sarah Jane becoming as serious as censors allow. He lets Sarah Jane use his car while he is serving, probably in VietNam, and he comes home to discover Sarah Jane has turned the tables on the callous young stud, having an affair in his own car while he was in service.
    The coda is Shake Hands and Walk Away, the actual details of the breakup.
    Only fans were privy to the sequence of songs, since the last two managed only to crack the top 100 for a few weeks.
