There’s a lady who’s sure
Her car is too small
And she’s buying a stairway to headroom
When she gets the right car
Her life will be right
With the drive she can be who she should be
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she’s buying a stairway to headroom
There’s a sign on the wall
Low payments to be sure
But you know sometimes words have
Two meanings
A loan that’s too long
Can sure be a drag
But you know that the rush at purchase
Is worth it
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There’s a feeling I get
When I look at the grillwork
And my spirit is crying
For the pedal
In my thoughts I have seen
A drive through the trees
And the envy of those
Who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it’s whispered that soon
If we all buy hybrids
Then the President will
reward us
And a new day will dawn
For those who drive long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh
If there’s a rumble under your hood
Don’t be alarmed now
It’s just a turbocharger
kicking in
Yes, there are two roads you can go by
But in the long run
There’s still time to change
The off ramp you’re on
And it makes me wonder
Aw, uh, oh
Your car is humming but it won’t go
In case you don’t know
The transmission clearly is dying
With the sunroof open can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
(Solo)
And as we wind on down the street
We sit taller in our SUV
There drives a lady we all know
Who shines fog lights and wants to show
How large SUVs are still colored gold
And if you think just about our past
The truth will come to you at last
Soon we will be all out of gas
And have to ride our bikes like Lance!
And she’s buying a stairway
To headroom…
