E A B7
[Verse 1]
E Well, I Eleft Kentucky back in fourty nine
An' went to ADetroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The B7first year they had me puttin' wheels on CadilElacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And Asometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I B7always wanted me one that was long and Eblack
One day I devised myself a plan
That should Abe the envy of most any man
I'd B7sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
E Now I gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I Afigured I'd have it all by the time I retired B7
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred Egrand
[Chorus]
I'd get it Eone piece at a time and it Awouldn't cost me a dime
You'll B7know it's me when I come through your Etown
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna Adrive everybody wild
'Cause I'll B7have the only one there is a Eround
[Verse 2]
So the Every next day when I punched in
With my Abig lunchbox and with help from my friends
B7I left that day with a lunch box full of Egears
I've never considered myself a thief
But AGM wouldn't miss just one little piece
EsB7pecially if I strung it out over several years
E The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next Aday I got me an engine and a B7trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the Echrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like Anuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the B7big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile Ehome
Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we Atried to put it all together one night
And B7that's when we noticed that something was definitely Ewrong
The transmission was a fifty three and the Amotor turned out to be a seventy three
And when B7we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone
E So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little Abit of help with an adapter kit
We B7had that engine runnin' just like a Esong
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had Atwo on the left and one on the right
B7But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come Eon
The back end looked kinda funny too
But we Aput it together and when we got through
B7Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tailEfin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could Asee in her eyes that she had her doubts
But B7she opened the door and said, "Honey, take me for a spin"
E So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I Aheaded her right on down main drag
I could B7hear everybody laughin' for blocks aEround
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to Atype it up it took the whole staff
And B7when they got through the title weighed sixty Epounds
[Chorus]
I'd get it Eone piece at a time and it Awouldn't cost me a dime
You'll B7know it's me when I come through your Etown
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna Adrive everybody wild
'Cause I'll B7have the only one there is a Eround
[Outro]
E Uh yow, Red Ryder, this is the cotton mouth
In the PsychoBilly Cadillac come on, huh, this is the cotton mouth
And negatory on the cost of this mowchine there Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Uh, what model is it?
