EThe first time that AI lived in a Ecar
EI bought it for thirty Adollars it was a Blittle Ford Escort
EI slept in the Aparking lot of the Epark

Bbefore I fell Aasleep with the radiEo on
EThe worst part about Aliving in a Ecar
Eis how hot it Agets when the Bsun comes up
and you Ecan't stretch your Alegs out very Efar
I would Bwake up every Aday, Bwith my knees in Apain
Bturn the key and Ahope the thing would Estart
Then my Afriend moved Bin with Eme
             A  E* B  
we were happy as sardines
Ahe had a jBob as a pElayground supervisor
Abut he only worked an Bhour a Eday
AI'd drop him Aoff then I'd Ekill some time shoplifting at the mall
Awe both hBad our ways of bEringing home the pay
but Bwinter was on the Away
and Bwe were too big for our Atiny little tank
so we Bfound a place to Alive
we Esigned a lease and Ajoined the army Bof the walking Adead that pay Erent
The Enext time that AI lived in a Ecar
EI bought it Afrom a cemBetery
it Eused to carry Acoffins riEght up to their graves
Bit became a Ahome to me, Bsleeping on the Anear west streets
and BI could stretch my Alegs out all the Eway
EIt was cAold it was Ecold
Ebut I loved it wAhen it sBnow-o-o-ed
because the Esnow covered Aup all the Ewindows
and Bno one woulAd know, that that Bwagon was my Ahome
I could Bsleep in Apeace with thEe ghosts
EI tAraded it Ein
Eso that I could Aget a Bvan
Abecause if you're Bgonna play iEn a punk rock band
theAn someone's always Bgotta buy the Evan
Ait was fine by Bme because it sEeemed like compared to living in a Acar a Bvan
was gonna be Ea mansion
And thaBt van became my Ahome
for aBbout two years or Aso
I lived Bhappy I lived rent Afree
the day thaEt I give up I know where AI'll end up thaBt van is in front of my

E A E

The first time that I lived in a car

E A B

I bought it for thirty dollars it was a little Ford Escort

E A E

I slept in the parking lot of the park

B A B A

and I tried not to drain my batteries, remember to pull out the key

B A E

before I fell asleep with the radio on

E A E

The worst part about living in a car

E A B

is how hot it gets when the sun comes up

E A E

and you can't stretch your legs out very far

B A B A

I would wake up every day, with my knees in pain

B A E

turn the key and hope the thing would start

A B E

Then my friend moved in with me

A E B

we were happy as sardines

A B E

he had a job as a playground supervisor

A B E

but he only worked an hour a day

A A E

I'd drop him off then I'd kill some time shoplifting at the mall

A B E

we both had our ways of bringing home the pay

B A

but winter was on the way

B A

and we were too big for our tiny little tank

B A

so we found a place to live

E A B A E

we signed a lease and joined the army of the walking dead that pay rent

E A E

The next time that I lived in a car

E A B

I bought it from a cemetery

E A E

it used to carry coffins right up to their graves

B A B A

it became a home to me, sleeping on the near west streets

B A E

and I could stretch my legs out all the way

E A E

It was cold it was cold

E A B

but I loved it when it snow-o-o-ed

E A E

because the snow covered up all the windows

B A B A

and no one would know, that that wagon was my home

B A E

I could sleep in peace with the ghosts

E A E

I traded it in

E A B

so that I could get a van

A B E

because if you're gonna play in a punk rock band

A B E

then someone's always gotta buy the van

A B E A B

it was fine by me because it seemed like compared to living in a car a van

was gonna be a mansion

B A

And that van became my home

B A

for about two years or so

B A

I lived happy I lived rent free

E A B

the day that I give up I know where I'll end up that van is in front of my

house waiting for me
