lyrics

I keep a concrete angel in my backseat
On the Jersey Turnpike it keeps me company
When I'm driving fast I kiss its forehead
My angel's tender and its power's enormous

And I know, I know
But it's hard to go it alone

Six hundred thousand miles from your place to mine
Concrete's colder than the blacktop in springtime
You're smoking menthols I want to split open
My angel catches me and its wing's broken

And I know, I know
But it's hard to go it alone

They call me what they want to, grit teeth, big smile
You call me angel, baby, darling, sunshine
I love my concrete angel in my front seat
When I'm driving home I know it loves me

Aaaah x 8

Be my, be my, be my
4-door dashboard dream ride
Be my, be my, be my
4-door dashboard dream ride
Be my, be my, be my
4-door dashboard dream ride
Be my, be my, be my
4-door dashboard dream ride
