[Verse 1] I used to climb into that pickup, Fire it up and hit the road. Big old tires, a thirsty engine, And a bed packed high with loads. Every stop meant burning money, Every turn took half the street. Then I drove that little Prius— Turned around in one clean sweep. [Pre-Chorus] They said, “Man, you traded down.” I said, “Take another look.” I’m not trying to impress the town— I’m trying to keep what I earn. [Chorus] I sold my pickup for a Prius, Now the whole damn town can see us. Made a U-turn in the street— One clean move, quick and sweet. Got my brushes, poles, and chemicals, Every tool is close to me. Saving money while I’m working— That Prius pays me every day. [Verse 2] I’m a one-man pool-cleaning business, Every mile comes out of mine. So the less I spend on gasoline, The more I keep at closing time. No more climbing in the truck bed, Reaching deep for what I need. Open up the back and there it is— Right where I can reach it easily. [Pre-Chorus] Chrome and thunder looked impressive, But the numbers told the truth. There’s nothing sexy about wasting cash Just to prove what you can do. [Chorus] I sold my pickup for a Prius, Now the whole damn town can see us. Made a U-turn in the street— One clean move, quick and sweet. Got my brushes, poles, and chemicals, Every tool is close to me. Saving money while I’m working— That Prius pays me every day. [Bridge] Sexy is money in the bank. Sexy is passing up the pump. Sexy is getting every job done Without feeding some big truck. Let ’em laugh when I come rolling. Let ’em talk about my ride. I’m carrying everything I need— And keeping profit on my side. [Final Chorus] I sold my pickup for a Prius, Yeah, the whole damn town can see us. Made a U-turn in the street— One clean move, quick and sweet. Got my brushes, poles, and chemicals, Every tool is close to me. Saving money while I’m working— That Prius pays me every day. I traded horsepower for a smart choice, And I like it better this way. Saving money never looked so good— That Prius pays me every day. [Outro] Laugh all you want when you see me— I’ll be smiling all the way. I sold my pickup for a Prius… And that Prius pays me every day.
