This song was inspired by two of my cousins personal experiences. *Dedicated to the grieving mothers of our lost children*

Her Tune the Mustang was Playing

Note * Since working on the composition of this tune, the title has become "The Blue Mustang"


It’s actually very sad the way her story goes
Too many she’s lost she could never forget


‘No worries mama’ he had said before he left
She thought of him that night in her prayers
He climbed in his mustang to pick her up at 8
She left a note ‘Mama promise I won’t be late’
Walked out and waved goodbye to the neighbors
Oh she thought of her that night in her prayers

(Chorus)
And the engine was running
Her tune the mustang was playing
Steering wheel in hand
Tires screaming their brand


It wasn’t long after the end of the school year
They had longed for those hot summer days
To have time to set free and to just cruise away
Once again it was just like back in the days
When love was young and knew no games
Their eyes met in the rear view mirror


(Chorus)
The engine was running
Her tune the mustang was playing
Steering wheel in hand
Tires screaming their brand

He reached out and touched her hand
He pulled it close to him and gave her a glance
That’s when they heard the screaming tires


(Chorus x 2)
The engine was running
Her tune the mustang was playing
Steering wheel in hand
Tires screaming their brand
