lyrics

Mother said he'd go real far
look at him now he's got a car
it's not brand new it's not paid off
it drives him safely to his job

Where he waits tables serving food
to pay the bank that paid for school
that he went to to get a sheet
that's got his name and a degree on it

It's in a frame on the wall
of his empty bedroom now
near downtown in the basement
of somebody's apartment

With a roommate that's got no job
she watches TV all day long
and never cleans up when she spills
unless it's the bottle of pills she takes

He met a girl who lived above him
he took her out they fell in love
they had some kids they settled down
they baught a house out of town

And he got a raise he baught a car
at six point seven APR
now he's got it made he's in the clear
his life's on lease for the next ten years or so
the next twenty years or so
the next forty years or so

Mother said he'd go real far
look at him now driving his new car
