The song is a critique of Bruce Springsteen's perceived limited subject matter in his songs.
McAloon suggests that Springsteen's worldview is too restricted and that "some things hurt more, much more, than cars and girls". Ironically, the song's popularity is partly due to it being misinterpreted as a "driving song", leading it to appear on compilation albums such as Summer Cruisin' and Top Gear (a spin-off from the BBC Televisionmotoring show of the same name).
What Rhymes With Cars And Girls is the first solo album by You Am I frontman Tim Rogers, and the only release featuring the backing band The Twin Set (though members of the group would form Rogers's second solo backing band, The Temperance Union). 'You've Been So Good To Me So Far' and 'I Left My Heart All Over The Place' were released as a double-sided radio single. The album was recorded at Jen Anderson's (of Weddings Parties Anything) home studio, and featured many varied musicians, including Sally Dastey of Tiddas (on 'Up-A-Ways'). In 2015, the album was adapted for the stage, with playwright Aidan Fennessy working with Tim Rogers to create a new musical What Rhymes with Cars and Girls for the Melbourne Theatre Company.

Lyrics:
Brucie dreams life's a highway too many roads bypass my way
Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief
At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin
Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon?
But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?
Just look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.

Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions, Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new god Well this is one race he won't win, 'cos life's no cruise with a cool chick Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in. Brucie's thoughts - pretty streamers - guess this world needs it's dreamers may they never wake up. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.
