Cars in rock and roll songs usually represent freedom, success, or romance. In David's Ford, the car has a different meaning and a dual meaning. It symbolizes friendship and the passing of time.
DAVID'S FORD
We used to drive around in the middle of the night
Just two suburban guys, home from college, sweetly bored
We used to blast the radio and yak about sexy girls
It's been a long time since I've been in David's Ford
The summers drifted by and we'd both go back to school
He went to Indiana and I hung around New York
He stayed out in the Midwest, we started losin' touch
I'd think about those 3 a.m. June nights in David's Ford
He got engaged ten years ago, I went out to his wedding
The night before he took the plunge, we sat around and roared
And now I just don't see him much but somehow every June
I wonder if some kid somewhere is drivin' David's Ford
