david wilcox - rusty old american dream lyrics
well, i don’t look all that ragged
for all the time it’s been
but i’m weakened underneath me
where my frame is rusted thin
and this year’s state inspection
i just barely p-ssed
won’t you drive me ‘cross the country, boy
this year could be my last
i’m a tail-fin road locomotive
from the days of cheap gasoline
and i’m for sale by the side of the road going nowhere
a rusty old american dream
i rolled off the line
in detroit back in 1958
spent three days in the showroom
that’s all i had to wait
i’ve been good to all who owned me
sso have no fear
c’mon, boy, put your money down
and get me out of here
i’m a tail-fin road locomotive
from the days of cheap gasoline
and i’m for sale by the side of the road going nowhere
a rusty old american dream
this car needs
a young man to own him
one who will
polish the chrome
i will give you
the rest of my lifetime
but don’t let me
die here alone
just jump me
some juice to my battery
give that old starter a spin
hear me whir, sputter
backfire through the carberator
and roar into life once again
i’m a tail-fin road locomotive
you can polish my chrome so clean
we can fly off into the sunset together
a rusty old american dream
still runnin’
a rusty old american dream
