Ani Difranco - Used Cars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone
My ma's in the back seat, sittin' all alone
My pa steers her slow out of the lot
For a test drive down Michigan Avenue

[Verse 2]
My ma, she fingers her wedding band
Watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
He's tellin' us all about the break he'd give us if he could, but he just can't
Yeah, and if I could, I know just what I would do

[Chorus]
'Cause mister, the day the lottery I win
I ain't never gonna ride no used car again

[Verse 3]
Now the nеighbors come out from near and far
As we pull up in our brand nеw used car
I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry
Tell 'em they can kiss our asses goodbye
Tell 'em they can kiss our asses goodbye

[Verse 4]
My dad sweats the same job from mornin' to morn
And I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born
I can hear my sister in the front seat blowin' that horn
The sound is echoin' all down Michigan Avenue
[Chorus]
Yeah mister, the day my number comes in
I ain't never gonna ride no used car again
Yeah mister, the day the lottery I win
I ain't never gonna ride no used car again
