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]
