All I wanted was aDcarD/F# G

Had a part time job making chicken for Bobs

At the food court at the mall.

I hauled my uncles trash,

I cut my neighbors grass

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.

AYeah when IGwas sixDteen

When IBmfinally got that

Abig hunk ofGsteel,D

Gthose 4 wheelsDunderAneath,

I wentBmeverywhereAin it,

Gbroke the speedDlimit,

And IEmeven broke in the backAseat.

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 cant believe that they all belong to me.

When I caught their mommas eye in that old

thing I used to drive, I never dreamed it

would take me this far

When all I wanted was a car

Yeah when IGwas sixDteen

AAllGof myDdreams

arDound one thing.A

All I wanted was aDcar,D/F# G

All I wanted was aDcarD/F# G
