Someone's driving a 450 And his friends are so wild They're still in their stick shifties But they feel they have much more style But I've found . . . It's all up to what you value Down to where you are It all swings on the pain you've gone through Getting where you are It's all up to what you value In your motor car It all rests on what it's cost you Getting where you are It's what you value Someone's driving a 6-wheeler Seems the world is all blurred Knows he's in a show stealer With a sound that's uncompared And I've found It's all up to what you value Down to where you are It all swings on the pain you're gone through Getting where you are It's all up to what you value In your motor car It all rests on what it cost's you Getting where you are It's what you value.
