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 its happening now
Mama said, Oh dear baby dont leave me
But Im 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 wont 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 its happening now
And he said, Ahh shucks!
I figured it out all wrong
The only thing that really matters now –
If you aint got a car – stay far!
