my first car

Lyrics

Verse 1
My Mama and woodchipper
came through with the keys
Twenty-three candles
and a ride for me

She tossed me the title
like, "Baby, go on"
I sat in that driver seat
all night long

Fresh clean dash
smell of new vinyl
Hands on the wheel
felt downright vital

Pre-Chorus
I been grinning too hard
from the block to the bend
Can't nobody tell me
this ain't my win

Chorus
Rock, Rock
I'm in my car now
Rock, Rock
I don't need a reason
Rock, Rock
Mama made it happen
Rock, Rock
I'm gonna keep it gleamin'

Verse 2
Blue on the hood
and the tires still shine
Two-three years old
but it feels like mine

Took the long route home
just to hear it run
Radio loud
and the day ain't done

My friends all holler
when I roll past
I keep one hand up
and the speed stay fast

Pre-Chorus
I been smiling so wide
couldn't hide it if I tried
That little gift hit hard
right in my chest tonight

Chorus
Rock, Rock
I'm in my car now
Rock, Rock
I don't need a reason
Rock, Rock
Mama made it happen
Rock, Rock
I'm gonna keep it gleamin'

Bridge
I remember that look
on her face when she said
"Take care of that dream
and keep your head"

Now I turn that key
and I feel that spark
Whole world right there
in the start-up part

Chorus
Rock, Rock
I'm in my car now
Rock, Rock
I don't need a reason
Rock, Rock
Mama made it happen
Rock, Rock
I'm gonna keep it gleamin'

Outro
My Mama and woodchipper
yeah, they did that right
Twenty-three and rolling
into the night
Rock, Rock
