All I Wanted Was a Car

All I wanted was a car
All my dreams revolved around one thing
Suddenly was workin' so hard
She got a scholarship to Yale
Sittin' in the drive, it blows my mind to see
And I raked the leaves in the fall

My parents, they were stunned
And I can't believe that they all belong to me
Had a part time job making chicken for Bob's
All I wanted was a car
Yeah, when I was sixteen
All I wanted was a car
Now when I look outside

In that old thing I used to drive
But all I wanted was a car

Those four wheels underneath
Who did two commercials
How this former lazy bum
When I caught their momma's eye

An SUV and a Sedan and two kids playing
But all I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
When I was sixteen
Never dreamed it would take me this far
I hauled my uncle's trash, I cut my neighbor's grass
All my dreams revolved around one thing

All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
Then there was Herschel
At the food court at the mall
And I even broke in the backseat

All I wanted was a car
I went everywhere in it, broke the speed limit
All I wanted was a car
And he was gonna be a movie star
All I wanted was a car
When I finally got that big hunk of steel
Jenny McClain had big brains
