Hometown News – Minivan lyrics

(Ronnie Kingery/Scott Whitehead)

I can remember,like it was yesterday
When daddy sold his Corvair and we watched it drive away
Well,then we walked down the corner with the money that he got
He bought a Mr. Cruiser off of Mr.Kelly's lot

Well,that station wagon was the ugliest thing around
And I'd hide beneath the dashboard everytime we drove through town
Now,21 years later,(21 years later)I got a wife and kid
And I'm standin' here on Kelly's lot,just like my daddy did

And I'm singin'
Goodbye 20's,hello minivan
Look out 30's,I'm becoming my old man
The keys are in my pocket
I've got the title in my hand
Goodbye 20's,hello minivan

Sellin' that four by four really hurt my pride
But the cold,hard fact was the lack of room inside
Well,so long to my gone good days,I don't cruise for chicks no more
Now it's luggage racks,and fruit juice packs,and an extra slidin' door

And I'm singin'
Goodbye 20's,hello minivan
Look out 30's,I'm becoming my old man
The keys in my hand
I've got the keys in my pocket
Goodbye 20's,hello minivan

I can see us on the highway,baby's fast asleep
Momma reads a book and I'm in the driver's seat
Headin' off to places we never been before
With everything I need and room for more

Goodbye 20's,hello minivan
Look out 30's,I'm becoming my old man
The keys are in my pocket
Yeah,I've got the title in my hand
Goodbye 20's,hello minivan
