All He Wanted Was Peace - Geoff Zanelli

My buddy Blake, was all state With dreams of the NFL Jenny McLain had big brains She got a scholarship to Yale Then there was Hershel, he did commercials And he was gonna be a movie star But all I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car Had a part time job Makin' chicken kabobs At the food court at the mall I hauled my uncle's trash I cut my neighbor's grass And I raked the leaves in the fall My parents they were stunned How this former lazy bum Suddenly was workin' so hard But all I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car Yeah, when I was sixteen All my dreams Revolved around one thing All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car When I finally got that big hunk of steel And those four wheels underneath I went everywhere in it Broke the speed limit And I even broke in the back seat Now when I look outside Sittin' in the drive It blows my mind to see An SUV and a sedan And two kids playin' And I can't believe they all belong to me When I caught their momma's eye In that old thing I used to drive Never dreamed it take me this far All I wanted was a car Yeah, when I was sixteen All my dreams Revolved around one thing All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car Sixteen All my dreams Revolved around one thing All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car All I wanted was a car

Little man was hungry They saw him as a tramp With a love note in his pocket, But no money for a stamp, He just sits there in the doorway And he sings his lonely song, Mumbling the cold out of his hands, Watching the shadows weave and dance, Smiling, but in his eyes the chances are gone He was me, He was you, Maybe someone that you knew, There goes everybody's brother, What's his name? Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain The painter tries to paint him, And the poet, he tries to see, I think he had a castle, In the man he used to be, He just stuck to us a question, Can you tell me what you've learned? "Nobody knows the truth," he said, "Not till the book has all been read, Follow the one you love instead of the road." He was me, He was you, Maybe someone that you knew, There goes everybody's brother, What's his name? Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain He was me, He was you, Maybe someone that you knew, There goes everybody's brother, What's his name? Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain Ain't it cold enough today, let it rain Ain't it cold enough today, So let it rain
