Dave Edmunds - Dear dad

^CDear Dad, don't get mad ^CWhat I'm asking for ^FIs by the next semester ^FCan I get another car ? ^CThis one here is sick'ning ^FOn a wide dual road ^GI might as well be walking ^CAs to drive this old Ford

^CAlmost everyntime I try ^CTo go and pass a truck ^FIf I ain't goin' down hill ^FDad, Im, out of luck ^CAnd even if I get by ^FIt's still a rugged risk ^GThe way this old Ford ^CKeep a hitting and miss

^CLast week when I was driving ^COn my way to school ^FI almost got a ticket ^F'Bout a freeway traffic rule ^CIt's now a violation ^FDriving under forty-five ^CAnd if I push to fifty ^GThis here Ford will nosedive

^CDad, I'm in great danger ^COut here trying to drive ^FThis Ford wiggles ^FWhen I'm approaching forty-five ^CI have to nurse it along ^FLike a little suffering pup ^CAnd cars whizzing by me ^GDad, look like I'm backing up

^CShe just don't have the appetite ^CFor gas somehow ^FAnd Dad, I got both carburetors ^FHooked up on it now ^CI tried to hook another ^FTo see if I'd do a little good ^CBut ain't no place to put it ^Eb'Less I perforate the hood

^CSo Dad, send the money ^CSee what I can see ^FTry to find a Cadillac ^FSixty-two or three ^CJust something that won't worry us ^FTo keep it on the road ^CSincerely, your loving son ^EbHenry Junior Ford ^C
