A thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'

A thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit

Might as well take your thousand dollars

And set fire to it

A thousand dollar car ain't worth a dime

You lose your thousand dollars every time

Oh why did I ever buy

A thousand dollar car

A thousand dollar car is gonna let you down

More than it's ever gonna get you around

Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust

You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust

A thousand dollar car's life was through

'Bout fifty thousand miles before it got to you

Oh why did I ever buy

A thousand dollar car

A thousand dollar car ain't gonna roll

Until you put at least another thousand in the hole

Sink your money in it , and there you are

The owner of a two thousand dollar thousand dollar car

Verse 3

If you only got a thousand dollars

You might as well buy a good guitar

Learn how to play, it'll get you farther

Than any old thousand dollar car

If a thousand dollar car was to worth a damn

Then why would anybody ever spend ten grand

Oh why did I ever buy

A thousand dollar car

That's it. Hope everyone enjoys it.
