Brad Paisley - All I Wanted Was A Car lyrics

rate me

My buddy Blake was All-state, with dreams of the NFL

Jenny McClain had pig brains, she got a scholarship to Yale

Then there was Herschel, who did two 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 making chicken

For Bob's 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

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

Those four wheels underneath

I went everywhere in it, broke the speed limit

And I even broke in the backseat.

Now when I look outside, sittin' in the drive it blows my mind

To see an SUV and a Sedan and two kids playing

I can't believe that 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.

Chorus:

All I wanted was a car, all I wanted was a car

Yeah, when I was sixteen all my dreams revolved around one thing

All I wanted was a car, all I wanted was a car.

Chorus:

All I wanted was a car, all I wanted was a car

Yeah, when I was sixteen all my dreams revolved around one thing

All I wanted was a car, all I wanted was a car.

Chorus:

All I wanted was a car, all I wanted was a car

Yeah, when I was sixteen all my dreams revolved around one thing

All I wanted was a car, all I wanted was a car...
