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

And there was Hershel who did two commercials

And he was going to be a movie star

But all I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a carPart time job making chicken kabobs 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 was suddenly working so hardBut all I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a carYeah when I was sixteen all of my dreams revolved around one thingAll I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a carWhen 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 backseatNow when I look outside sitting in the drive

It blows my mind to see an SUV and a sedan

And two kids playing and I can't believe they all belong to meWhen I caught my mama's eye in that thing I used to drive

I never dreamed it would take me this farAll I wanted was a car

Sixteen all of my dreams revolved around one thing

All I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a carAll I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a car
