[Verse 1]
Asomeone stole the Chevy from the drivewayA/G#  
F#mBet you woulda let it go for frDee
BmYou said they wouldn't make it to the Bmmaj7highway
Let alEone to the end of the street
AThe title still signed under A/G#our name
The reF#mgistration's been out of date for Dweeks
If the Bmcops didn't already fiBmmaj7nd them
They're pErobably breaking down as we speak
[Chorus]
I think we're better Doff without itA  
One day we will F#mlaugh about thisC#m
