Friday Song: "Pretty Smart Car"

It's Friday. Outside my window, a mass of gray clouds is about to dump freezing rain. Time for a little music.

OK, so, very little.

Anyway, here's a little home video of another of my tech-related songs. This one is actually co-written with another tech journalist, Quentin Hardy of Forbes. Lyrics are below...

Pretty Smart Car

E
My baby's got gone and she ain't coming back
A E
Yeah, baby's got gone, now she's never comin' back.
B A E
Not my girl, nor my heart, nor my pretty Cadillac.

I loved her like spelunkers love a flash of light
Loved her like some hackers love Doritos and Sprite
Filled my head all the time, like a million megabytes

A E
Pretty pretty car got her goin' pretty far She's a pretty pretty girl in a pretty smart car.
A B
She's out of sight, but tonight I'll find her using OnStar.
G A
I'm alone, such a mess
(pause) E
I need some GPS

A E
On every trip our passion's blip my radar it would show
A
But something jammed, and thank you ma'am
B E
Sweet Sally Sue did go

Each night I home in on the satellite of fate
Each day I seek a power living up by Heaven's gate
Beggin' please, find my girl, as I hyperventilate
