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 passed
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 gasolineDavid Wilcox - Rusty Old American Dream - http://motolyrics.com/david-wilcox/rusty-old-american-dream-lyrics.html
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
