FOUR BY FOUR CHEVEROLET  CHICK MAGNET ALL THE WAY  KEPT HER 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 GOOD WHEELS FOR MY TRUCK  I WAS TRYING EM’ OUT WHEN SOME ADOLESCENT IN A TRANS AM  RAN A RED LIGHT AND ALL I HEARD WAS BAM! DAMN!    CHORUS:  I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE  WORKED HARD ALL MY LIFE  EVERYTIME 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    FOR EXAMPLE, I SAVED UP AND BOUGHT ME A PLACE  A FIX ER UP OUT ON THE LAKE  GAVE IT TENDER LOVIN’ 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!)    CHORUS:    BRIDGE:  I GOT A BRAND NEW CHEVY IN THE JUNK YARD  A MEMORY OF A HOUSE AND A BROKEN HEART  AND I SURE HOPE MY DREAMS DON’T COME TRUE TWICE!    CHORUS:    I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE  WORKED HARD ALL MY LIFE  I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE (THAT’S RIGHT)    these lyrics are submitted by Taylor West
