Remember that worn out Jeep you was driving made me nervous
1995, three years since you had it serviced
No tread on the tires, but you didn't mind long as it was working

Been a little while now and this whiskey got me wondering
If it's anything like you, I can bet you it's still running
Oh, nothing I could do to prevent what was coming

Cause when you told me I broke in two
And couldn't do what I always do

I could fix a leak
But not you leaving
I could patch a hole
But you still see it
And I got a thousand tools in this box
But I don't need 'em
I could fix a sink
Or a door when it's creaking
I could have a go at that shelf that's uneven
And I got a thousand screws in this box
But I won't need them
Yeah yeah, it's so hard to admit it
That I'm just stuck here wishing you would call
But some things just can't be fixed at all

Remember back when you used to have to come and get me
Out that damn garage that had always kept me busy
But now the four walls ain't the only thing that's empty

Cause when you told me I broke in two
And couldn't do what I always do

I could fix a leak
But not you leaving
I could patch a hole
But you still see it
And I got a thousand tools in this box
But I don't need 'em
I could fix a sink
Or a door when it's creaking
I could have a go at that shelf that's uneven
And I got a thousand screws in this box
But I won't need 'em
Yeah yeah, it's so hard to admit it
That I'm just stuck here wishing you would call
But some things just can't be fixed at all
