Well I’m only 16 if you know what I mean and I just got my first car
I got from the guy with the used car lot
‘Round the corner, near the park
I walked up to him with some cash in my hand
And said, “This is all I got”
He gave me a frown, told me to look around at the back row of the lot
Now I say…

[Chorus:]
My car has a fallin’ off door
Dents in the roof and there’s holes in the floor
When I push the gas, well it goes real slow
And the breaks hardly work and I know
My car makes the people laugh
I guess I just shoulda got a scooter when I could have
But when I am grown I’ll impress my friends
‘Cause I swear I’ll drive a Mercedes Benz

I was at a red light on a Tuesday night when a cop pulled up behind
I asked what was wrong, I had my blinker on
And I didn’t speed that time
He looked at my license, rolled his eyes and then he shook his head
He looked so sympathetic and I felt pathetic
He looked at me and said,

[Chorus]
“Your car has a fallin’ off door
Dents in the roof and there’s holes in the floor
When you push the gas, well it goes real slow
And your breaks hardly work and I know
You car is a piece of trash
Maybe you just shoulda got a scooter when you could have
But I’m sorry hon, we gotta tow this in
‘Cause you’re never gonna drive it again…”

He called in a tow truck from his police radio
Soon it was towin’ away my car
That was the last of my car…

Cause

[Chorus]
My car had a fallin’ off door
Dents in the roof and there were holes in the floor
When I pushed the gas well it went real slow
And the breaks hardly worked and I know
My car made the people laugh
I guess I just shoulda got a scooter when I could have
But when I am grown I’ll impress my friends
‘Cause I swear I’ll drive a Mercedes Benz


Well I’m only 16 if you know what I mean
And I just lost my first car
I picked up a phone, heard a dial tone
And I just called my mom
