El camaro

Just stepping on the gas
The engine roars, all tuned up
Its paint job's flawless
Fully loaded, no doubt
It just needed to talk
Chorus
That beautiful Camaro

I bought it for Junior
So he could ride in style
When he cruised around in it
He was the envy of the block
Never thought that I’d have to
Chorus
Buy death for my own son

He was only fifteen
You could see it on his face
When I saw him in his Camaro
I could see his wings
My kid had no feathers
Chorus
And I wanted him to fly

One Sunday morning
Everything felt so bright
Then suddenly I got the call
Something I’d never expect
In a car accident
Chorus
Junior was gone

Maybe it was my fault
For giving him everything
I didn’t want him to lack
What I didn’t have at his age
If God sent us without wings
Chorus
Why did I try to give him some?

Things have their own time
And I took him too soon
By loving our kids too much
Some parents mess up
Instead of giving them everything
Chorus
Why didn’t we prepare them?

He was only fifteen
You could see it on his face
When I saw him in his Camaro
I could see his wings
My kid had no feathers
Chorus
And I wanted him to fly
