The Mackenzies
My car broke down In front of my house I was turning it over and over And an older man came runnin' out He said, "Don't you do that, son You'll only make it worse "I'll call my buddy Koji He can fix anything And he owes me And my, just look at the time It's almost beer-thirty Ya must be thirsty Come on inside with me Join the family" Inside, it seemed a place had already been laid for me We never met before Despite livin' next door See, I'm the type of guy Who sees a neighbor outside And stays inside and hides I'll run that errand another time As Jack and I bonded over our love of Mel Tormé And the early movies of Kid and Play Letras de cancionesBrenda brought the drinks in on a tray And said, "For dinner, you must stay" It was such a comfy and cozy den And I wished that Jack would call me "son" again After dinner, we talked some more Brenda stretched and quickly said "Let me show you to your bed" There were photos on the wall Of a boy, maybe twenty-one or so Leanin' against a brand new Camaro I could tell by his eyes that he had died Some time ago And his room kept alive I peaked outside through the blinds At my house next door in the sun Wife in the rec room Kids'll be home from school soon I thought, "I'll just shut my eyes for five" When I opened them again Night had come And brought two figures to the door And they said, "Son, it's okay It's okay Son Son, we're okay We're okay" From Letras Mania
