All I Wanted Was A Car

My buddy Blake was All-State With dreams of the NFL Jenny McClain had big brains She got a scholarship to Yale Then there was Herschel Who did two commercials And he was gonna be a movie star But all I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car Had a part time job making chicken for Bob's At the food court at the mall I hauled my uncle's trash, I cut my neighbor's gra*s And I raked the leaves in the fall My parents, they were stunned How this former lazy bum Suddenly was workin' so hard But all I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car Yeah, when I was sixteen All my dreams revolved around one thing All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car When I finally got that big hunk of steel Those four wheels underneath I went everywhere in it, broke the speed limit And I even broke in the backseat Now when I look outside Sittin' in the drive, it blows my mind to see An SUV and a Sedan and two kids playing And I can't believe that they all belong to me When I caught their momma's eye In that old thing I used to drive Never dreamed it would take me this far All I wanted was a car When I was sixteen All my dreams revolved around one thing All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car
