Used Cars

[Verse 1]

My sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone

My ma's in the back seat, sittin' all alone

My pa steers her slow out of the lot

For a test drive down Michigan Avenue

[Verse 2]

My ma, she fingers her wedding band

Watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands

He's tellin' us all about the break he'd give us if he could, but he just can't

Yeah, and if I could, I know just what I would do

[Chorus]

'Cause mister, the day the lottery I win

I ain't never gonna ride no used car again

[Verse 3]

Now the nеighbors come out from near and far

As we pull up in our brand nеw used car

I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry

Tell 'em they can kiss our asses goodbye

Tell 'em they can kiss our asses goodbye

[Verse 4]

My dad sweats the same job from mornin' to morn

And I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born

I can hear my sister in the front seat blowin' that horn

The sound is echoin' all down Michigan Avenue

[Chorus]

Yeah mister, the day my number comes in

I ain't never gonna ride no used car again

Yeah mister, the day the lottery I win

I ain't never gonna ride no used car again
