All I Wanted Was a Car

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
But all I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But all I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car

[Bridge]
Yeah, when I was sixteen
All of my dreams
Revolved around one thing

[Chorus]
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
