My daddy bought this car before I was born
And I like the radio and I love the horn
And I like the great big shiny steering wheel
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile
Four kids can sure fill up a big back seat
They used to stop and get us something sweet
Now mama says let's pray for one good meal
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile
Mama kisses us goodnight
Daddy reads the paper by the dashboard light
Crushes out his cigarette
Says, don't cry darling,
we ain't beat yet
Another morning and we're up and gone
Daddy heard of work somewhere in San Antonio
Three days of riding, it ain't no big deal
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile
My daddy bought this car before I was born
And I like the radio and I love the horn
And I like the great big shiny steering wheel
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile
