One Piece at a Time-Johnny Cash

[00:07.320]Well,I left Kentucky back in '49 [00:13.400]An'went to Detroit workin'on a 'sembly line [00:17.340]The first year they had me puttin'wheels on cadillacs [00:19.390]Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by [00:23.730]And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry [00:26.250]'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black. [00:31.380]One day I devised myself a plan [00:33.250]That should be the envy of most any man [00:36.740]I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand [00:39.60]Now gettin'caught meant gettin'fired [00:42.180]But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired [00:45.150]I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand. [00:49.600]CHORUS] [00:50.350]I'd get it one piece at a time [00:52.180]And it wouldn't cost me a dime [00:53.750]You'll know it's me when I come through your town [01:00.10]I'm gonna ride around in style [01:01.650]I'm gonna drive everybody wild [01:02.960]'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round. [01:09.300]So the very next day when I punched in [01:10.980]With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends [01:12.980]I left that day with a lunch box full of gears [01:18.800]Now,I never considered myself a thief [01:20.470]GM wouldn't miss just one little piece [01:22.360]Especially if I strung it out over several years. [01:25.120]The first day I got me a fuel pump [01:27.710]And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk [01:32.510]Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome [01:37.10]The little things I could get in my big lunchbox [01:39.90]Like nuts,an'bolts,and all four shocks [01:40.970]But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home. [01:44.580]Now,up to now my plan went all right [01:48.560]'Til we tried to put it all together one night [01:51.10]And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong. [01:53.200]The transmission was a '53 [01:57.150]And the motor turned out to be a '73 [02:01.120]And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone. [02:04.480]So we drilled it out so that it would fit [02:07.480]And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit [02:09.390]We had that engine runnin'just like a song [02:13.860]Now the headlight'was another sight [02:15.240]We had two on the left and one on the right [02:18.830]But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on. [02:21.900]The back end looked kinda funny too [02:25.550]But we put it together and when we got thru [02:28.500]Well,that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin [02:30.610]About that time my wife walked out [02:35.180]And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts [02:37.850]But she opened the door and said "Honey,take me for a spin." [02:40.270]So we drove up town just to get the tags [02:44.410]And I headed her right on down main drag [02:46.560]I could hear everybody laughin'for blocks around [02:49.200]But up there at the court house they didn't laugh [02:53.560]'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff [02:56.230]And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds. [02:59.460]I got it one piece at a time [02:59.80]CHORUS] [03:02.120]And it didn't cost me a dime [03:03.930]You'll know it's me when I come through your town [03:08.00]I'm gonna ride around in style [03:11.260]I'm gonna drive everybody wild [03:13.120]'Cause I'll have the only one there is around. [03:17.950]Spoken]Ugh!Yow,RED RYDER [03:22.640]This is the COTTON MOUTH [03:23.890]In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on [03:25.710]Huh,This is the COTTON MOUTH [03:29.830]And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER [03:34.610]You might say I went right up to the factory [03:36.880]And picked it up,it's cheaper that way [03:38.710]Ugh!,what model is it?
