Camille - Heat


My Old Jeep
My old jeep got 13 miles per gallon
My old jeep had no air conditioning
There was no place to escape the heat in my Old Jeep
I’m pretty sure there were things living in my Old Jeep
I was living in my Old Jeep
The plastic that is above the window was broken on my Old Jeep
There was paint missing on the driver’s side of my Old Jeep
I loved my Old Jeep
My Old Jeep was replaced by a stupid Hyundai Elentra
The air conditioning works in this stupid Hyundai
The stupid Hyundai is clean as a whistle
The stupid Hyundai offers a place to escape from the heat
But it is still not my Old Jeep
