Well I left Kentucky

Back in forty nine

An' went to Detroit

Workin' on a 'sembly line

The first year they had me

Puttin' wheels on Cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by

And sometimes I'd hang

My head and cry

'Cause I always wanted me

One that was long and black

One day I devised myself a plan

That should be the envy

Of most any man

I'd sneak it out of there in

A lunchbox in my hand

Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired

But I figured I'd have it all

By the time I retired

I'd have me a car worth

At least a hundred grand

I'd get it one piece at a time

And it wouldn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me

When I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style

I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only

One there is around

When the very next day

When I punched in

With my big lunchbox

And with help from my friends

I left that day with

A lunch box full of gears

I've never considered myself a thief

But GM wouldn't miss

Just one little piece

Especially if I strung it

Out over several years

Well the first day I got me

A fuel pump

And the next day I got me

An engine and a trunk

Then I got me a transmission

And all the chrome

The little things I could

Get in my big lunchbox

Like nuts an' bolts

And all four shocks

But the big stuff we snuck out

In my buddy's mobile home

Well up to now my

Plan went all right

'Til we tried to put it all

Together one night

And that's when we noticed

That something was definitely wrong

The transmission was a fifty three

And the motor turned

Out to be a seventy three

And when we tried to put in

The bolts all the holes were gone

So we drilled it out so that it would fit

And with a little bit of help

With an adapter kit

We had that engine runnin'

Just like a song

Now the headlight' was another sight

We had two on the left

And one on the right

But when we pulled out the

Switch all three of 'em come on

The back end looked kinda funny too

But we put it together

And when we got through

Well that's when we noticed

That we only had one tail-fin

About that time my wife walked out

And I could see in her eyes

That she had her doubts

But she opened the door

And said Honey take me for a spin

So we drove up town just to get the tags

And I headed her right

On down main drag

You could hear everybody

Laughin' for blocks around

But up there at the court

House they didn't laugh

'Cause to type it up

It took the whole staff

And when they got through

The title weighed sixty pounds

I got it one piece at a time

And it wouldn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me when

I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style

I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only one

There is around

Ugh Yeah RED RYDER

This is the COTTON MOUTH

In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh
