_Two Car Garage_, by Burl Ives - Not the same as the BJ Thomas song. There’s gonna be tears on your pillow, and a shadow on your heart Some morning when you wake up with the dawn Your gonna look out across the driveway to a two car garage and one of those two cars will be gone. ---

Not what the OP was asking for, but I couldn’t help thinking of the cover of Jeff Beck’s _Guitar Shop_. He probably spent almost as much time working on his hot rods in his garage as he did in the recording studio.
