lyrics

i picked you up at an underground market
you were dressed head to toe in dark blue
the sellers told us where we could park it
but i knew i wanted you

you looked a little rough around the edges
but superficial gets you nowhere at all
and i'm grateful that you made your promises
not to drive me up the wall

we hit the road in the spirit of travellers
everything we ever needed in tow
chose a town on a map of the east coast
and indicated we were ready to go

road markings cruised beneath us
and we camped under the stars every night
and in the times we stopped to catch our breath
we were breathless at the sights

oh georgie, you really set me free
free as i'd ever been, it's alright
i don't mind that you're unclean

i knew you carried some baggage
on rare occasion you simply broke down
and breaking was never your strongest suit
as we cruised from town to town

but every journey has to end somewhere
and we parted on the spot we first met
and even though i never had control of you
your first car you never forget

oh georgie, you really set me free
free as i'd ever been, it's alright
i don't mind that you're unclean
