The Wreck Of The Barbie Ferrari Lyrics - John Hiatt

Saturday night he comes home stinking 

sunday morning she wakes up thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking 

does she need to get the kids dressed to go to church 

he's pulled a shotgun out of the lurch 

he heads for the TV room starts to search 

his problems swollen like a river and his reality's shrinking 

he finds them huddled by the toy box and splatters 'em all 

the ken and the midge and the skipper doll 

they look like a family but they're really not at all 

well he's sad but he ain't sorry 

it ain't the end of the world 

it's just the wreck of the barbie ferrari

he wonders if he ever said I do 

to that little blonde plastic voodoo 

and his mind's gone fishin' 

well it started just as plain as the nose on your face 

now it's in a thousand peices all over the place 

he thought she was driving but it's twisted beyond recognition 

all the diapers and the tutus and the basketballs 

she was givin' them a lift to the promised mall 

but somewhere by the TV that V-12 stalled 

as he loaded the chamber her eyes got starry 

it ain't the end of the world 

it's just wreck of the barbie ferrari 

when they get home from church won't they be sorry 

he's cornered 'em all on his urban safari 

It aint the end of the world...

He's played with cars and guns since he could crawl 

now he wishes he'd never met that doll with her face gone 

there wasnt nothing he ever thought about 

he couldn't drive through or shoot his way out 

as he surveys the family room littered with dolls 

he can't find one leg to stand on 

he aims the gun at his head now he's starting to cry 

looking for the courage to let it fly 

can't live without his family now that something has died 

he's not sure who's hurt not sure who's sorry 

It ain't the end of the world...
