lyrics

They were a match made in heaven
And all of their friends did agree
But sometimes some things just happen
And some love is not meant to be

In the sunny corner diner
She read what he said
But with bright lights and wide eyes upon her
Not even one tear was shed

He wrote "Baby, I have tried
But this is what I need
In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly
Please don't cry
You know I had to leave."

Now in the bathroom she's crying
Cuz deep down she knows
That while his toothbrush is still lying there
He was just dying to go

He wrote "Baby, I have tried
But this is what I need
In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly
Please don't cry
You know I had to leave."

P.S. I love you, my pretty, my star
I got a picture of you hanging inside my car
P.S. I love you, my pretty, my star
And I'll toast this next one to you

"Oh my baby, I have tried
But this is what I need
In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly
Please don't cry
You know I had to leave."
