New Car Lyrics - Cledus T. Judd

Come on you no good worthless piece of foreign 

Wait while I get me a royalty check 

I'mma buy me an American made car 

Piece of junk 

People always shout obscenities 

When I stall in their lane 

They're all convinced when they see me 

Driving this heap that I'm insane 

But seat belted in 

I push the gas down fearlessly 

Breaks stop working then 

I watch the engine overheat 

I need a new car, I can't ever get far 

This one breaks down on me all the time 

It's got four bald tires and it always backfires 

And I'm sick of that check engine light 

I need a new car 

I replaced all the cables and hoses 

Had grease all over my face 

For a couple weekends 

I had parts thrown all over the place 

I put it back together fast 

But now it's even worse 

Now my friends just laugh 

'Cause it only goes in reverse 

I need a new car, getting to work's hard 

When you have to drive backwards all the time 

I'd find a junkyard and I'd sell it for parts 

But I know they won't give me a dime 

I need a new car 

I won't repair anymore 

Now the dang transmission's about to fall out 

The only thought that's on my brain is the new car 

I could be driving now 

Rumor is they're having a sale 

At the push-pull or drag car lot 

If I can get this towed down there 

I swear I'll take anything they've got 

So with a credit line 

Of 20,000 plus 

No interest or money down 

And no more taking the bus 

I got a new car looking like a big star 

I don't care if the price was too high 

It's got a VCR, cruise control and on star 

So I know where I'm at all the time 

I got a new car, he got a new car
