Lyrics

Every Penny Fed Car

So you spilled every last penny into the car And it still won't take you where you want to go So you spilled every last penny into the car And it still won't take you very far at all So you spilled every last penny into the car And it still won't even barely leave your home So you spilled every last penny into the car And it still won't take you where you need to go So you spilled every last penny into the car And it still won't even barely leave your home So you spilled every last penny into the car And it still won't take you anywhere at all
