I tried to see what in my life could be so wrong

I figured it out - all I need is a car to be so strong

So here I sit on the hood of a Buick

I feel real cool and the chicks all dig it

Things are going to change and I think it's happening now



Mama said, "Oh dear baby don't leave me"

But I'm a redneck adventurous pitch forked pup from the farm

And now I cruise on the high road to China 

Got girls lined up way back to Ohio

Slicked back hair with pomade that just won't stop



Ahd he said, "Ahh shucks!"

I figured it out all wrong



I wrecked that car on the night of my very first prom

Betty Lou got out and walked, in short, she was gone

So here I sit on this heap of a Buick

Best girl gone, oh I just knew it

Things are going to change and I think it's happening now



And he said, "Ahh shucks!"

I figured it out all wrong

The only thing that really matters now - 

If you ain't got a car - stay far!
