Karaoke Track: One Piece At A Time by Johnny Cash (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

Well I left Kentucky
backin'49

an' went to Detroit
workin' on an

assembly line

Every day I'd watch
them beauties roll by

and sometimes I'd
hang my head and cry

One day I devised
myself a plan

that should he the envy
of most any man

Now gettin' caught
meant gettin' fired

but I figured I'd
have it all by
the time I retired

I'd get it one piece
at a time

and it wouldn't
cost me a dime

So the very next day
when I punched in
with my big lunchbox
and with help

from my friends I

I've never considered
myself a thief

but GM wouldn't miss
iust one little piece

The first day
I got me a fuel pump

and the next day
I got me an engine
and a trunk

The little things I
could get in my

big lunchbox
like nuts an' bolts
and all four shocks

Now up to now
my plan went alright

til we tried to put it
all together one night

The transmission
was a '53

and the motor turned
out to he a '73

So we drilled it out
so that it would fit

with a little bit
of help with
an adapter kit

The back end looked
kinda funny too
but we put it together
and when we got through

About that time
my wife walked out

and I could see
in her eyes that
she had her doubts

So we drove up town
just to get the tags

and I headed a right
on down main drag

But up there
at the court house
they didn't laugh
'cause to type it up it

took the whole staff I

I got it one piece
at a time

and it didn'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

Uh yeah Red Ryder
this is the cotton mouth

in the Psycho Billy
Cadillac come on

Huh this is the
cotton mouth

negatory on the cost
of this mow-chine
there

Well, it's a
'49, '50, '51, '52,

'53, '54, '55, '56
'57. '58' 59' automobile

It's a '60, '61, '62,
'63, '64, '65, '66,

'67 '68, '69,
'70 automobile
