Cover art for My Car lyrics by Gin Blossoms

It's about coming back to a place he grew up in, but now with the added freedom of being an adult with a car. He's more free to explore all of these areas that he was probably limited to go to, both being a child and not having the ability to go everywhere he wanted to. He's probably also looking for high school crush of his.

"Looking for some face I can't forget."

Even though he's been gone for a while, he hasn't forgotten her.
