Short ballad about a car crash, a loss of a first vehicle. Melancholy and maudlin.

One guy, simple songs for people I know, also music for the stage.
MyPoorCar is me. The vehicle is one guy, the music posted for now is old. It was recorded a while ago. New music will be recorded as it is commissioned or otherwise inspired. The music of MyPoorCar is of various styles, but mostly simple and melodic.

Story behind the song
I was driving on I-287 in New Jersey in my VW Golf. My first car and i was involved in a 5 car pile up going 55 mph. I'm lucky I didn't die, but while still sore, I wrote and recorded this song. Written back around 1988 or 1989
Lyrics
My poor car My poor car All smashed up And it won't go far Wrecked on the interstate Behind the guy Who slammed on the brakes And made the fiberglass fly My poor car My poor car Sitting in the rain And looking real sad Waiting for the tow truck Me and my bad luck It was the first car that I ever had My poor car My poor car Ooooooo Yeah yeah My poor car My poor car All smashed up And it won't go far Ooooooo My poor car My poor car
