lyrics

10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.
10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.

I miss my ride. Ya'll thought it was shit,
but it was all I had. So, to me, it was legit.
Broke the bumpers and what of it?
Rolls of duct tape, I covered it with.
To keep it pristine and lookin mad clean.
Only problems I had, is when it was raining.
Leaking windows, mildew on the rugs.
And yes, the occasional bugs.
Gotta stop the car and unplug the battery.
Otherwise I woke up to battering,
my head against car door.
I dunno, maybe it was stuttering?
Cause all the neighbors, could hear me uttering.
The short killed the battery, stuck at the house
and now my sister is mad at me.
So sad cause she can't go to class.
But whatever cause, she's just a pain in my ass.

10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.
10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.

I remember one time, I took it to valet.
Cause I was peeping a show out in L.A.
and when it was over, later that day.
The guy pulled up my van between a Benz and Bentley.
It was funny as fuck, but I felt like a pimp.
Hopped in my ride, covered with bird shit.
No handle on the door, so I made the mistake.
To open it up, from the inside.
Let the passenger in and then I realized.
My hand was cut from the metal exposed,
and oh well, there went my clothes.
Covered in blood, but what can you do?
Pulled out some napkins, amidst soy sauce packets.
Decided it was best to just put on my jacket.
Cause the night was early, so we had to attack it.
But the very next day I gave the van some brackets.

10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.
10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.

Remember taking it to Rock The Bells,
and Glen Hellen was hotter than hell.
Enough to crack the van's head gasket.
Thought we'd have to tow it back in a casket.
Figured for sure it was the end of the line.
So many miles, around such a long time.
but the van stuck it out, inch by inch.
And lasted till the point in time at which,
my pops told me about cash for clunkers.
Like, "let's hawk it in, cause that van's a junker.
Trade it in, for a brand new ride,
and you can use your mom's other car on the side."
And they took my ride away, on that fateful day.
And they got the full 5 K.
So now I'm rollin in a nice '07.
and the van is chillin in junkyard heaven.

10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.
10 MPG to me is crazy.
How I got anywhere to me is amazing.
Me and the van through the land just blazing.
I miss that ride, sometimes I wonder where it's laying.

Ok, so let's try this one time.
Repeat after me:

HA- ... more KO-BO

Much better.

I used to be a fairly grumpy guy. I'm single(not by choice), jobless, broke and I still live at home with my parents. That's basically me and my music in a nutshell. Still--despite all that-- life seems to be better now. less
