I Can't Have Nothin' Nice Lyrics

Four by four Chevrolet, chick magnet all the way

Kept it armor-alled and waxed and shined, and buffed

Got a good friend down at the Goodyear

We get together, talk tires and drink beer

He gave me a good deal on some new wheels for my new truck

I was trying em out when some adolescent in a Trans Am

Ran a red light and all I heard was "Bam!"... Damn

I can't have nothin nice

Worked hard all my life

Every time I get a piece of the pie

If somebody don't snatch it or take em a bite

It slides right off the plate into the beans and rice

I can't have nothin' nice

No, I can't have nothin' nice

I saved up and bought me a place

A fixerup out on the lake

Gave it tender love and care and elbow grease

I met a girl down at the marina,

We talked bait and drank margaritas

She gave me a lip lock out on the boat dock, and she hooked me

Before too long, we were hummin' along to wedding bells

Then she kicked me out and put my house up for sale

Well, hell.

I can't have nothin' nice

Worked hard all my life

Every time I get a piece of the pie

If somebody don't snatch it or take em a bite

It slides right off the plate into the beans and rice

I can't have nothin' nice

No, I can't have nothin' nice

I got a brand new Chevy in the junkyard

A memory of a house and a broken heart

And I sure hope my dreams don't come true twice

I can't have nothin' nice

Worked hard all my life

Every time I get a piece of the pie

If somebody don't snatch it or take em a bite

It slides right off the plate into the beans and rice

I can't have nothin' nice

No, I can't have nothin' nice

I can't have nothin' nice

Worked hard all my life

I can't have nothin' nice

No, I can't have nothin' nice
