A promise and a porsche -Allan Taylor
As my father lay dying
I was holding his hand
He said
Son there's one thing you must understand
When they dealt the cards
I got the losing hand
That's the way it played out for me
'Cause I never got to ride in a real fast car
Or get crazy drunk in a downtown bar
I never even got
To go that far
And there was so much I wanted to see
When he died his ashes
Came home at last
And I thought about what he would have wanted the most
I bought a real fast Porsche and I d**ned the cost
I strapped him in
We hit the highway
Hey old man
Now you know how it feels
Isn't she just the greatest
Set of wheels she's a bright red beauty
And she shines like a star
And we're cruising like kings of the highway
And we drove like the wind
Down to London town
And we got crazy drunk and started falling down
And when a new day broke and we came around
I took him down
To look at the sea
We stood on Brighton Beach where it all began
Where my father's son
Became a man
And I said to him
Now you can understand
What you have meant
To me
'Cause I got you that ride
In a real fast car
And we got crazy drunk in a downtown bar
And we made it together
And we've come this far
And I did it all
For you
Now when I drive that Porsche it means the world to me
'Cause I can be the man he always
Wanted to be
And if somehow
He's looking down on me
I know he'll smile and he'll say
You did it all
If somehow
He's looking down on me
I know hell smile and he'll say
Hey
You did it all
