allan taylor - a promise and a porsche lyrics

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
and 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#mned 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”

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 al”
if somehow he’s looking down on me
i know h#ll smile and he’ll say “hey, you did it al”
