INTRO:  D


D                                            G         D
My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone
                                  A    D
My Ma's in the black seat sitting all alone
                             G      D
As my Pa steers her slow out of the lot
      A                    D
For a test drive down Michigan Avenue
                            G       D
Now, my Ma, she fingers her wedding band
                                     A         D
And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
He's telling us all about the break he'd give us
      G                  D
If he could, but he just can't
                 A                   D
Well if I could, I swear I know just what I'd do

CHORUS 1:
     G
Now, mister, the day the lottery I win I ain't
D                          A    D
Ever gonna ride in no used car again

                             G        D
Now, the neighbors come from near and far
                           A        D
As we pull up in our brand new used car
                                 G         D
I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry
                 A                 D
And tell 'em all they can kiss our asses goodbye

HARMONICA:  G  A

        D                           G          D
My dad, he sweats the same job from mornin' to morn
                                                A     D
Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born
Up the block I can hear my little sister in the
      G                 D
Front seat blowing that horn
           A                     D
The sounds echoing all down Michigan Avenue

CHORUS 2:
     G
Now, mister, the day my numbers comes in I ain't
D                          A    D
Ever gonna ride in no used car again

HARMONICA OUTRO:  G  D  A  D
                  G  D  A  D  A  D
