All I Wanted Was A Car

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 car Had a part time job making chicken kebabs 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 hard But all I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car Yeah when I was sixteen all of 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 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 me When I caught my mama's eye in that thing I used to drive I never dreamed it would take me this far All 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 car
