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 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 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

Suddenly was workin' 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, 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 mama's eye in that old thing I used to drive

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 (Sixteen, all of my dreams)

All I wanted was a car (Revolved around one thing)

All I wanted was a car

All I wanted was a car
