Not another police chase you think to yourself
Some people really need to get some help
Must be some thug out for a joy ride
And didn’t want to stop because of his pride
Or probably some car-jacker just being dumb
Went for another car but picked the wrong one
Would you believe this guy was just a kid
Who is now regretting everything he just did
He is not even a thug, held down a job
Washing the cars of wealthy snobs
Day after day for pennies on the dime
There has got to be a better way to spend his time
Thinking aloud you could hear him say
I’m gonna have one of these cars one day
When I get a better job after I finish school
I’ll save up and buy something really cool
But that some day was taking too long
Year after year he sang the same old song
Until one day he was at the end of his rope
So many pressures made him loose all hope
Just at the moment of thinking things thru
He come a customer who was way to rude
He thought the only way to feel alive
Was to take the jerks car and just drive
Before you know it a thought was an action
And now the world has a new attraction
Life was is family and the love they shared
He only realized it because he was scared
Before you judge this misguided fool
Take note of the things most important to you
