All I Wanted Was a Car

My buddy Blake, was all state With dreams of the NFL Jenny McLain had big brains She got a scholarship to Yale Then there was Hershel, he did 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 Makin' 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 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 And those four wheels underneath I went everywhere in it Broke the speed limit And I even broke in the back seat Now when I look outside Sittin' in the drive It blows my mind to see An SUV and a sedan And two kids playin' And I can't believe they all belong to me When I caught their momma's eye In that old thing I used to drive Never dreamed it take me this far 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 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
