Lyrics
Teddy told me that in Greek, nostalgia literally means
"The pain from an old wound."
It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone
This device isn't a spaceship, it's a time machine
It goes backwards, and forwards
It takes us to a place where we ache to go again
I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
(We'll go all, all, all night long)
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
(We'll go all, all, all...)
Here's a story of a bad ass car
Not just any car, a Daytona charger
Now let's go to the start
And find out why it's so close to the heart
Back in 1980 my Dad
Scraped up every single penny he had
To buy that coveted mean lean
Beautifully divine green machine
After that it was years of labor
Restoring it back to its prime layers
Spent our summers with man named Dean
The beginnings of a father and son team
I'll never forget hurting my knee
After dropping my bike on the street
After countless hours it was complete
And we took it back to Neb City
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
(We'll go all, all, all night long)
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
(We'll go all, all, all...)
Went to shows all over the country
Kicking ass, taking names, collecting trophies
Transparent trailer for transport
Fit so tight you'd almost scratch the door
Went to KC & Des Moines the most
I'll never forget that treasure trove
Of memories, ohh so vividly
Not to mention theme park ecstasy
Adventureland and Worlds of Fun
Outside all day burnt from the sun
Riding the Mamba for the first time
Making faces in the "funny mirror" line
Trips sadly stopped as time went on
Bogged down with adult responsibilities
Procuring abilities, I'd kill to relive those memories
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
(We'll go all, all, all night long)
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
(We'll go all, all, all...)
September 25th of 11
The day's finally come, it feels like heaven
My Dad let me drive the Daytona
Can't imagine a more perfect coda
We cruised on down to Highway 2
60 degrees, a gorgeous afternoon
Windows down and hair in the breeze
Before you knew it I handed back the keys
I was so proud that I earned his trust
I got to drive the winged muscle
Life came full circle, for that I'm eternally grateful
I have one last thing I want to say
Dad I'll love you till my dying day
You made me the man I am today
It's thanks to you and Mom I'll be ok
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
There's something inside you, there's something inside you
It's hard to explain, it's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy, they're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
