Lyrics for Song: All I Wanted Was A Car
Lyrics for Album: 5th Gear [Arista] [2007]
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 kebobs
At the food court at the mall
I hauled my uncle's trash, I cut my neighbor's grass
And I raked the leaves in the fall.
My parents, they were stunned how this former lazy bum
Suddenly was workin' so hard.
Chorus:
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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
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
I never dreamed it would take me this far.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
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...
