Holly Buddy - Four Wheels Are Better Than Two

When I was a young man
I just couldn’t afford a car
I would ride a motor cycle
I wouldn’t go that far.

But a motor cycle has got its drawbacks
Distinctly below par
I’ve levelled up I’ve improved things
I’ve bought myself a car

Now I’ve got twice as much grip
I’ve got a roof over my head
Room for more than just one passenger
And if I crash I won’t end up dead.

I know the truth, and so do you
Four wheels are better than two
Yes, four wheels are better than two (a hoo, ahoo hoo).

Now I drive…. an automobile
I know bikes are a pile of junk
A Fender amp sitting on my backseat
My Stratocaster in the trunk
My Stratocaster in the trunk.

I can go on tour ‘round the country
Seeking riches finding fame
And let’s be honest travelling in a motor car is
Safer than flying in a light plane
It’s safer than flying in a light plane.

Motor cars are safer than aircraft
I should have driven and not flown instead
Wheels are smart wings are plain daft
Coz when I crashed I wouldn’t haven’t ended up dead

I know the truth, and so do you
Four wheels are better than wings
Yes, four wheels are better than wings
(It’s just one of those things).
