I ran into the bathroom and slammed the door closed
Locked it behind me, then I climbed out the window
Unlocked my car, pushed it out into the road
So when I started it, they would not hear me go
I picked a cassette, loaded it into the stereo
Turned the knob as far as it will go
Feel the vibration coming out of the speaker cones
My rear view mirror shaking, my hands, my soul
But right now everything’s fine
‘Cause I’ve got my car, my six by nines
I’ve got Mindcrime on the alpine
Everything’s fine as long as I have my six by nines
All hell is breaking loose back at my home
My mother and sister are at my fiance’s throat
But Rhonda is tough as nails and holding her own
They’re fighting over me and they don’t even know
That I’m gone, so far away
‘Cause I’ve got my car, my six by nines
Piece of mind on the alpine
Everything’s fine as long as I have my six by nines
Flashback to a year before, I spent a week re-carpeting my car
And building a box for some new speakers to impress a girl
I thought she’d only like me if I found new carpet in my car
And speakers a foot behind her head
And we would go out every night and blast her favorite Whitesnake song
While fucking on fake sheepskin covers in the front seat of my car
Because we had no where else to go, because I lived at my mothers’ home
And now we have a baby on the way
‘Cause I’ve got my car, my six by nines
Last in Line on the alpine
Everything’s fine as long as I have my six by nines
I’ve got my Jensen six by nines
High N’ Dry on the alpine
Everything’s fine as long as I have my six by nines
