At Least I Got a Car

A friend of mine dropped out of school He didn't tell no one He just left one day Folks said he was actin' like a fool But he said, "I was about to go crazy And I was already foolish anyway" And what did I have to lose? What did I have to lose? Well he took off to Wisconsin late that night Wisconsin, where he figured he could blend in He said, "Nothing felt good under him, not the road Not the tuition money in his pocket Not really even the car he was driving in And what did he have to lose? Oh, what did he have to lose? He said "At least I got a car I can drive tonight I know it ain't much but it makes me feel alright And alright ain't good, but alright's alright At least I got a car I can drive tonight" Oh, college was hard for me and my friends We all felt like little kids but they said we couldn't act that way And I knew I was supposed to change But changing's hard and it was easier just to play video games And, what did we have to lose? What did we have to lose? We said "At least I got a car I can drive tonight I know it ain't much but it makes me feel alright And alright ain't good, but alright's alright At least I got a car I can drive tonight" Man, sometimes don't you just want to sit still? 'Cause you can only run so fast or drive so far And home might feel like a funny idea that you never understood But you want it more than you want the car 'Cause you're tired of how the seats feel And you're tired of the steering wheel And you'd buy a new car but the last thing you want Is something new Last thing you want is something new Going home feels like the thing you ought to do Oh, 'cause you can only drive so far Hey, man I wish I had a home tonight Somewhere where I could feel more than alright 'Cause alright ain't bad, but alright's alright Oh, man, I wish I had a home tonight Ah, man, I wish I had a home tonight Somewhere where I could feel more than alright 'Cause alright ain't bad, but alright's just alright And, man, I wish I had a home (man, I wish I had a home) Yeah, man, I wish I had a home (man, I wish I had a home) Oh, man, I wish I had a home tonight Yeah
