A friend of mine dropped out of school
he didn't tell no one
he just left one day
Folks said he was acting like a fool
but he said I was about to go crazy
and I was already foolish anyway
And what did I have to lose
what did I have to lose
So he took off to Wisconsin late one night
Wisconsin where he figured he could blend in
He said nothing felt good under him not the road
not the tuition money in his pocket
not really even the car he was driving in
But he said what did he have to lose
what did he have to lose
CHORUS:
He said at least I got a car I can drive tonight
I know it ain't much but it makes me feel alright
And alright ain't good but alright's alright
At least I got a car I can drive tonight
College was hard for me and my friends
we all felt like little kids
but they said we couldn't act that way
I knew I was supposed to change but change is hard
and it was easier just to play video games
Besides what did we have to lose
yeah what did we have to lose
CHORUS:
Oh at least I got a car I can drive tonight
I know it ain't much but it makes me feel alright
And alright ain't good but alright's alright
At least I got a car I can drive tonight
Man sometimes don't you just wanna sit still
'cause you can only run so fast or drive so far
Home might feel like a funny idea
that you never understood
but you want it more than you want the car
BRIDGE:
'Cause you're tired of how the seats feel
And you're tired of the steering wheel
And you'd buy a new car but
the last thing you want is something new
the last thing you want is something new
Going home feels like the thing you oughta do
'Cause you can only drive so far
CHORUS:
Oh man I wish I had a home tonight
Somewhere I could feel more than alright
'Cause alright ain't bad but alright's just alright
And man I wish I had a home, man I wish I had a home
TAG:
man I wish I had a home tonight
Oh man I wish I had a home, man I wish I had a home
man I wish I had a home tonight
