My buddy Blake was All-State
With dreams of the NFL
Jenny McClain had big brains
She got a scholarship to Yale
Then there was Hershel
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 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 working so hard
But all I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
Chorus
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 under me
I went everywhere in it
Broke the speed limit
And I even broke in the back seat
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 their momma's eye
In that old thing I used to drive
I never dreamed
It would take me this far
All I wanted was a car
Repeat Chorus 2x
All I wanted was a car
