65 Mustang
The Ford Mustang, still in the market years after its release even after several revisions, it is undisoutably one of the most successful models launche in automotive history. An American vehicle, The Ford Mustang is originally based on the Ford Falcon compact. Ford Mustangs were first revealed in Dearborn, Michigan on 9 March 1964. Sales rates boomed up to a over a million units during the first 18 months of being on the market.
As a validation of the model’s fame, several cars has been made about them, and one of them is “65 Mustang” by Five for Fighting: the stage name of John Ondrasik, a US singer-songwriter. Five for Fighting’s claim to fame was the hit single “Superman (It’s Not Easy)”, which resulted to the platinum record he got for the album America Town in 2000.
The song “65 Mustang” basically sings about the family Mustang, and the things that the car and the driver shared:
65 Mustang
by Five for Fighting
She’s my time machine
She’s my rolling memory
She’s my family
And I love her so
She knows my secrets well
But her back seat won’t ever tell
She’s no Jezebel
My ‘65 Mustang rides along
Every mile’s another song
And what I don’t remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain’t let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse’s key
I’m 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the ‘65 was three
She’s been four colors
We’ve broken forty laws
She goes where she wants
No matter what the cost
No power nothing here
AC’s 2 by 75
Yea you got it man
You roll em down and drive
My ‘65 Mustang rides along
Every mile’s another song
And what I don’t remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain’t let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse’s key
I’m 17 or 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the ‘65 was three
Don’t need to play no new CD’s
She’s enough music for me
I Don’t need no new AC
Cause she’s cooler than I’ll ever be
My wild Mustang
She’s waiting on me
Ready to take us away
Sail across the sea
When I’m on her back
I’m the boy each man should be
She’s My Family Tree
My ‘65 Mustang rides along
Every mile’s another song
And what I don’t remember
She never forgets
That little girl ain’t let me down yet
It all comes back to me
When I turn that horse’s key
And she roars to me…I’m 23
Or bringing home my first baby
Like Dad did when the ‘65 was three
She’s my family
