My sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone
                                  A    D
My ma's in the black seat sittin' all alone
                             G        D
As my pa steers her slow out of the lot
      A                        D
For a test drive down Michigan Avenue
        D                    G       D
Now, my ma, she fingers  her wedding band
                                      A        D
And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
                                         G      D
He's telling us all about the break he'd give us
       A                  D
If he could, but he just can't
                 A                    D
Well if I could, I swear I know just what I'd do

      G  
Now, mister, the day the lottery I win
           D                        A    D
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again

                              G        D
Now, the neighbors come from near and far
                          A         D
As we pull up in our brandnew used car
                                 G          D
I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry
                                A        D     | G | G | D | A |
Tell `em all they can kiss our asses goodbye

    D                                    G      D
My dad, he sweats the same job from mornin' to morn
                                                A      D
Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born
                                                            G           D
Up the block I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowin' that horn
           A                          D
The sounds echoin' all down Michigan Avenue

      G
Now, mister, the day my numbers comes in
            D                       A    D
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
