I was staying with a girl I went to school with
She's married to a man who's doing well
She's got the latest vehicle on the market
And her perfume is expensive I can tell

Her husband is away but he's a good man
She told me he's a snorer but he's true
I said to her I think you're very lucky
She said I know I am but so are you

I scratched my head but couldn't work it out
Couldn't understand what she was on about

I've got $10 in the glovebox and the freedom
To get behind the wheel and drive away
Haven't got expensive things so I don't worry
If someone's gonna pinch it all one day
Well I haven't got a lot but it's all mine
And $10 in the glovebox does me fine

As two friends we couldn't be more different
She wore heels and I wore dogger boots
Her scenery is on the wall on canvas
Mine is through the windscreen of my Ute

I've got $10 in the glovebox and the freedom
To get behind the wheel and drive away
Haven't got expensive things so I don't worry
If someone's gonna pinch it all one day
Well I haven't got a lot but it's all mine
And $10 in the glovebox does me fine

When we said goodbye she went all wistful
For Auld Lang Syne I knew she'd like to be
Singing to a CD up a back road
With $10 in the glovebox like me

I've got $10 in the glovebox and the freedom
To get behind the wheel and drive away
Haven't got expensive things so I don't worry
If someone's gonna pinch it all one day
Well I haven't got a lot but it's all mine
And $10 in the glovebox does me fine
And $10 in the glovebox does me fine
