D
Well,
I left Kentucky back in 49
G
and I went to Detroit
working on assembly lines
A
and the first year they had me
D
putting wheels on Cadillacs
and every day I'd watch them
beauties roll by
G
and sometimes I'd just hang
my head and cry
A
because I always wanted me one that was long
D
and black well one day i devised myself a plan
G
that should be the envy of
most any man
A
because i sneak it out of there
D
in a lunchbox in my hand
and now of course getting caught
meant getting fired
G
but i figured i'd have it all
A
by the time i retired
Am
A
and i'd have me a car
D
worth at least a hundred grand
i'd get it one piece at a time
G
it would cost me a dime
A
you know it's me
D
when I came through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
G
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
A
because I'll have the only
D
one there is around
So the very next day
when I punched in
G
with my big lunch box
and with help from my friends
A
I left that day with a lunch
D
box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
G
but GM wouldn't miss
just one little piece
A
and especially if I strung
D
it out over several years.
Well, the first day I got me a fuel pump,
G
and the next day I got me an
engine in the trunk,
A
and then I got me a transmission
D
and all that chrome.
And the little things I could get in
the big lunch box,
G
like nuts and bolts and all
the four shocks,
A
but the big stuff I snuck out
D
in my buddy's mobile home.
Now, up to now, my plan went all right
G
until we tried to put it all together one night,
A
and that's when we noticed
that something was
D
definitely they were on.
You see the transmission was a 1953
G
and the motor turned out to be a 73
A
and when we tried to put in the bolts
D
all the holes were gone.
So we drilled it out and that wouldn't fit
G
an d then we took a little bit of this
A
a little bit of that made an adapter kit
D
and when the engine running
just like an old song.
G
Of course the headlights
they were another side
A
and we had two on the
left and one on the right
D
and when we pulled out
the switch all three came on
and the back end looked kind of funny too
G
but we put it together
when we got through
A
well that's when we noticed
that we only had one tail fin
D
and about that time
my buddy's wife came out
G
and I could see she had her doubts
A
and she said hey
D
David Allen take me for a spin
so we drove uptown just to get the tags
G
and I headed her right down
to the main drag
A
because I could hear everybody laughing
D
for blocks around.
But up there at the courthouse
they weren't laughing, buddy,
G
because they had to type it up
and it took their whole staff
A
and when they got through the title
D
weighed about 60 pounds.
I got in one piece at a time
G
and it didn't cost me a dime
A
and you don't know it's me
D
when I come through your town.
I'm gonna ride around in style,
G
I'm gonna drive everybody wild,
A
Cause I'll have the only
D
one there is around
Yeah, hey, uh, Big Man Cash,
this is old
Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy here
Yeah, I've got that psychedelic Cadillac
that you had made a few years ago
Yeah, you remember that one,
picked it up one piece at a time
What's that?
Oh yeah, I know I had trouble
getting it retitled
in Tennessee here too
They asked me what year it was,
G
I said, well, it's a 49, 59, 51, 52, 53,
A
D
54, 55, 57, 58, 59 automobile.
G
It's a 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66,
A
I don't know, buddy,
but I know it's a Cadillac.
D
What?
Well, just give me the title, man.
I bought it from Johnny Cash,
G
I'm telling you.
A
Johnny Cash, C -A -S -H,
D
you know, the man in black?
That's right, David Allen Coe,
that's my name, yes sir.
G
Yes, I did sing that song,
A
the perfect country song.
D
What? Why didn't I sing,
I Walked the Line?
G
I did sing, I Walked the Line.
A
Well, by the Alvin.
D
Oh.
The car won't start anyway.
