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 passed.

Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy this year could be my last.

A rusty old American dream.

I rolled off the line in Detroit back in nineteen fifty-eight.

Spent three days in the showroom, that's all I had to wait.

                            F+2     CC Piano Chord 

I've been good to all who owned me, so have no fear.

C'mon boy, put your money down and get me outta here.

One who will polish the chrome.

Ya just jump me some juice to my ba'ttry.

Give that old starter a spin.

And roar into life once again.
