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 gonna 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
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

And he said, 'Ahh shucks'
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 gonna 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
You ain't got a car stay f-f-far, stay f-f-far

You ain't got a car
[Incomprehensible]
