Cars and Girls
Groove Da Praia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief
At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin
Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ?
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were
young ?
Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul
We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions,
Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned
Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ?
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were
young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God
Well this is one race he won't win,
'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick
Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in.
Brucie's thoughts - Pretty streamers
- Guess this world needs its dreamers may they never wake up.
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were
young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and
girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were
young ?
Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
The lyrics to Groove Da Praia's "Cars and Girls" explore the idea that life is like a road trip, with many twists and turns, and not all of them pleasant. The singer laments that although we may dream of a perfect life where the road is smooth and clear, reality often gets in the way. In particular, the song touches on the experiences of young people, who are often innocent but can be hurt by the harsh realities of life.
The song's title itself suggests a link between cars and girls, two things that are often associated with freedom and adventure. However, as the lyrics reveal, sometimes the cost of this freedom can be high, as many people end up feeling lost or disillusioned as they navigate the bumpy road of life. Despite the song's melancholic tone, there is also a hint of optimism, as the singer encourages us to keep looking ahead and searching for the brighter horizon that might be waiting for us just around the next bend.
Overall, "Cars and Girls" is a thoughtful meditation on the ups and downs of life, a reminder that happiness and fulfillment are not always easy to find, but that they are worth searching for nonetheless.
