Subject: RE: Lyr Req: two-car garage (Burl Ives)
Sorry I even bothered with that previous song.

Allmusic.com says TWO CAR GARAGE was written by Lyle Moraine, who also wrote several other songs that Burl Ives recorded:
CAN ANGELS FLY OVER THE ROCKIES
GALISTEO
I FOUND MY BEST FRIEND IN THE DOG POUND
MR MAKEUP MAN
SOMEONE HANGIN' ROUND YOU ALL THE TIME
THIRTY THOUSAND FEET OVER DENVER
...none of which I've ever heard of.

I listened to a sound sample and this is what I heard:

I hope ev'ry tear reminds you I don't love you anymore.
You're gonna look out across the driveway to a two-car garage,
And one of the two cars will be gone.

(You're gonna be all alone for breakfast at a table set for two
Some morning when the dew is on the lawn....)
