David Wilcox (US) - Rusty old american dream

^GWell, I don't look all that ragged for ^Call the time it's ^Gbeen, But I'm weakened underneath me where my ^Dframe is rusted thin. And ^Gthis year's state inspection I just ^Cbarely ^Gpassed ^GWon't you drive me 'cross the country, boy, This ^Dyear could be my ^Glast.

^Am7I'm ^G/Ba ^Ctailfin road loco^Gmotive from the ^Ddays of cheap gaso^Gline, ^Am7I'm ^G/Bfor ^Csale by the side of the ^Groad ^D/F#goin' ^Emnowhere, A ^Crusty old ^DAmerican ^Gdream.

^GI rolled off the line in Detroit back in ^C1958^G, Spent three days in the showroom, that's ^Dall I had to wait. I've been ^Ggood to all who owned me, so ^Chave no ^Gfear; C'mon, boy, put your money down and ^Dget me out of ^Ghere!

^Am7I'm ^G/Ba ^Ctailfin road loco^Gmotive from the ^Ddays of cheap gaso^Gline, ^Am7 I'm ^G/B for ^C sale by the side of the^G road^D/F# goin'^Em nowhere, A ^Crusty old ^DAmerican ^Gdream.

This ^Gcar needs a young man to o^Cwn him O^Gne who will polish the ^D7chrome, I will ^Cgive you the rest of my ^Glifetime, don'^A7t let me die here alo^D7ne.

^DJust jump me some juice to my ^Abattery, ^AGive that old starter a s^Dpin, Hear me w^Dhir, s^Bmputter, bac^Akfire through the car^F#mburetor, And ^Droar into ^Elife once ^Aagain.
