"Rusty Old American Dream"
David Wilcox
Performed by: Pat Green
Album: "Carry On"
Intro: D
D G D
I don't look all that ragged for all the time it's been
A
But I'm weakened underneath me where my frame has rusted thin
D G D
And this here state inspection I just barely passed
A D
Won't you drive me cross the country boy this year could be my last
CHORUS
G D
I'm a tail-fin road locomotive
A D
From the days of cheap gasoline
G D A
I'm for sale on the side of the road going nowhere
Em A D
Rust old American dream
D G D
I rolled off the line in Detroit back in 1958
A
Spent two days on the show room, that's all I had to wait
D G D
I've been good to all who've owned me so have no fear
A D
Come on boy put your money down and get me out of here
CHORUS
D
This car needs a young man to own him
G
One who will polish the chrome
D
I will give you the rest of my lifetime
Em A
But don't let me die here alone
E
Just jump me some juice to my battery
A
Give that old started a spin
E C#m
Hear me whir, sputter backfire through the carburetor
F#m B E
And roar into life once again
CHORUS
A E
I'm a tail-fin road locomotive
B E
From the days of cheap gasoline
A E C#m
I'm for sale on the side of the road going nowhere
F#m B E
Rust old American dream
C#m
Still running
F#m B E A--E
Rust old American dream
