Lyrics

Four of us in one car, Friday, half past five
Group chat buzzing like a hive
Who's got the tank and who's got the ride
Venmo me five, I'm a man of pride
Dave says he's good, Dave is never good
Marcus got a twenty, said he would
I'm doing the math at the pump on the corner
Splitting up the cost like a small-time owner

Gas money, gas money, ping in the chat
Everybody chip in, that's how it works, that's that
Gas money, gas money, tank on the line
Four friends, one ride, and we're doing just fine

Tolls on the bridge, snacks in the back
Somebody's cousin is riding too, that's a fact
Playlist wars at the first red light
Passenger seat got a vote tonight
I keep the receipt in the cup holder clean
Not for the money, for the team
Every ride we take is a story we tell
Cheaper than therapy, and it runs real well

Gas money, gas money, ping in the chat
Everybody chip in, that's how it works, that's that
Gas money, gas money, tank on the line
Four friends, one ride, and we're doing just fine

Years from now nobody will recall the cost
Just the singing and the exits we lost
The wrong turn laughing, the long way home
The backseat harmony, the dashboard glow
So send what you owe or send a good joke
Either one pays when the engine's awoke
I'm the driver, the banker, the host of the show
Full tank, full hearts, and a long road to go

Split it four ways, split it fair
Split the miles and the open air
Nobody counts when the good songs play
We just keep rolling the same old way

Gas money, gas money, ping in the chat
Everybody chip in, that's how it works, that's that
Gas money, gas money, tank on the line
Four friends, one ride, and we're doing just fine

Ping in the chat, ping in the chat
Full tank, good friends, that's that
