Engine of Our Hearts

[Verse] In a dusty ol' town, where the sun meets the ground, A soldier and a monkey did collide. With a wrench in his hand, he took a stand, Over cars they argued and vied. [Verse 2] "That Chevy's no good," the monkey understood, "Ford's where you'll find your speed." The soldier just laughed, took a long swig of his draft, He said, "Monkey, you best take heed." [Chorus] From engines that roared, their friendship was forged, In the heat of a small-town track. A soldier and a monkey, by the light of a junk heap, Found love in the things they lacked. [Verse 3] They tinkered away, saw the moon greet the day, A carburetor brought them near. Hand in paw, not breaking a law, Their romance became ever clear. [Verse 4] Through grease stains and oil, they both found the soil, Of a bond that was more than cars. In the garage they danced, through love and happenstance, Underneath those Tennessee stars. [Chorus] From engines that roared, their friendship was forged, In the heat of a small-town track. A soldier and a monkey, by the light of a junk heap, Found love in the things they lacked.
