Car Wash Karaoke

Car Wash Karaoke

Friday check barely landed
Quarters rattling by the shifter
Foam brush leaning like a microphone
Whole bay sounding like a choir
Truck beside us plays a bass line
We add harmony way too loud
Soap runs down the doors in rivers
Nobody here can hear us now

Two quarters for the rinse
One chorus for the week

Car Wash Karaoke, sing it through the spray
Car Wash Karaoke, wash the whole week away
Windows fogged, boots wet, everybody off-key
Car Wash Karaoke, loud enough for me

Halfway through the second verse
Drew says, I move to Tulsa Monday
Everybody misses the next line
Like the song just changed its body
Then we sing the chorus louder
Suds sliding off the hood
What was cheap Friday entertainment
Turns into one last neighborhood

Car Wash Karaoke, wash the whole week away
Windows fogged, boots wet, everybody off-key
Car Wash Karaoke, loud enough for me

Those quarters in the console ran out
Nobody reached for another coin
We came to wash the dust off and found out it was our last one
So we stood in the bay and finished the song

Car Wash Karaoke, sing it one more way
Car Wash Karaoke, Tulsa starts on Monday
Windows clear, boots wet, everybody finally sees
Car Wash Karaoke, keep this one with me
