The bank last week repossessed my Camaro
My girlfriend left with some guy she met in a bar
From all accounts he is a really nice fellow
Man I'm really gonna miss that car

Maybe I can get a ride with the redhead who lives next to me
I watched her through her window last night she appeared to be free
or at least reasonable as far as I could see
I lost my job 'cause I have no transportation
And it's hard to date when you are always on foot
The restraining order caused my neighbor's celebration
My furnace puts out no heat only soot

How am I to keep warm at night with no one to lie next to me
I've nowhere to go nothing to do I cannot even afford a TV
I could lie on the floor and count my blessings but I never make it to three

I just got evicted from my studio apartment
That's okay because there is no heat
It was slightly smaller than my car's glove compartment
And I had to use a milk crate as a seat

Now I'm standing in a police line up with another vagrant next to me
Contemplating my current life and how it came to be
I decided to blame my ex-girlfriend for letting me run free.

The punchline Man I'm really gonna miss that car does a good job of setting up this sad tale of walking down the road to ruin without a Camaro.

Fun song. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Yeah, the line "I'm really gonna miss that car" is worth the price of admission. I liked this a lot, fun lyrics, good vocal. The prosody was somewhat plodding, if it were smoother (maybe up the tempo?) it would be more pleasant. But not a huge deal and it didn't stop me from enjoying the song. Good work!
