The only good thing that's creeping in this ciry

my daddy said son your gonna drive me to drinkin'
mean machine
mean machine
brakes good tires fair

every now and then i drive just to get away
i'm eatin' up 2 lanes i gotta find sugar ray
can't stop now give me all your money
sometimes i drive slow
sometimes i drive quick
mean machine
mean machine
my daddy said son your gonna drive me to drinkin'
mean machine
mean machine
my daddy said son your gonna drive me to drinkin'
