A place in the clouds
And found they shouldn't have stole.
A place in the clouds
A foundation of stone.
And her dad yelled, 'Check me, boys!'
And her dad yelled, 'Check the oil!'
As her Folks drive away, her Dad Yell's "Check me boy"!
As her folks drive away, her Dad Yell's "Check the Oil"!
As her folks drive away, her Dad yells 'Chuckie Boy'!
As her folks drive away, her Dad yells 'Check the Oil'!
As she drove away her dad chucked chiken bones
As she drove away her dad yells check the oil
Check engine
Check the oil
Checkmate, boy!
Check the oil!
Her dad yelled out the window
'Chucky Boil!'
Her dad yelled out the window
'Check the oil!'
It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her uncle know.
It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know.
Ooh spaces
or
Ooh faces
New faces
Replacing the cloud with a foundation of stone
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Room to make a big buck scrapes.
Room to make the big mistakes.
Room to make a big muck scraper
Room to make the big mistakes
Room to make the big mustangs
Room to make the big mistakes
She goes to Ohio State.
She knows the high stakes.
She knows Ohio State.
She knows the highest stakes.
She knows Ohio sticks
She knows the high stakes
She knows Ohio stinks
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high estates
She knows the high stakes
She knows the highest ace
She knows the high stakes
Why don't men shave their heads?
Wide open spaces
