My buddy Blake, was all state
With dreams of the NFL
Jenny McLain had big brains
She got a scholarship to Yale
Then there was Hershel, he did 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 kabobs
At the food court at the mall
I hauled my uncle's trash
I cut my neighbor's gra**
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
(Chorus)
Yeah, when I was sixteen
All 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
And those four wheels underneath
I went everywhere in it
Broke the speed limit
And I even broke in the back seat
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 momma's eye
In that old thing I used to drive
Never dreamed it take me this far
All I wanted was a car
(Repeat Chorus)
Sixteen
All my dreams
Revolved around one thing
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
