One lister describes himself as the "current custodian" of his car, a
sentiment I share. I don't know where it will wind up but at some point in
the--preferably distant--future it will hopefully give someone as much
pleasure and
as many happy miles as it has given me.
I'm in a sentimental mood having just decided along with my daughter what
song we should dance to at her wedding coming up in October. I suggested a
song ("Here For You") that is on Neil Young's "Prairie Wind/Heart of Gold"
DVD,
which well expresses some of my feelings on her getting married. Sniff
sniff....
There's another song on the album--"This Old Guitar". Neil is playing on a
guitar formerly owned by Hank Williams and the lyrics might well be applied
to our cars. See below.

This old guitar ain't mine to keep
Just taking care of it now
It's been around for years and years
Just waiting in its old case
It's been up and down the country roads
It's brought a tear and a smile
It's seen its share of dreams and hopes
And never went out of style
The more I play it, the better it sounds
It cries when I leave it alone
Silently it waits for me
Or someone else I suppose
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar has caught some breaks
But it never searched for gold
It can't be blamed for my mistakes
It only does what it's told
It's been a messenger in times of trouble
In times of hope and fear
When I get drunk and seeing double
It jumps behind the wheel and steers
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
It's mine to play for a while
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
It's only mine for a while
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
