crimulus - 78 Pinto Lyrics

I met you fifteen years ago
When I pulled up to this theater in my green and white 78 Pinto
I knew you were something special
And though I showed no sign of potential you invited me to see a show
I didn't know a movie could be that good

We're eating strawberries in the cold
While we listen to the rain hit the roof of our 78 Pinto
We didn't drive anywhere special
Just you and me nestled near this run down theater we know
How could any other story be this good?

Suddenly our kids are nearly grown
And the oldest one is asking me to fix up that 78 Pinto
We both have reasons that that's special
His gaze is reverential, and I can't wait til we make that engine go
How can a life this true be so good?

Now all of our grandbabies call us old
If they only knew what started in a green and white 78 Pinto
Who could've known it was that special
And though I'll keep that confidential there are memories there I'll never outgrow
What can I say? Life's been good
