Pat Green - Rusty Old American Dream lyrics

rate me

MMmm.. all that racket

after all the time it's been

I'm weakened underneath me where my frame has rusted thin

This year's state inspection I just barely passed

won't you drive me cross the country boy - this year could be my last

Chorus

And I'm a tail wind road locomotive

from the days of cheap gasoline

for sale on the side of the road

goin' nowhere

a rusty old American dream

Rolled off the line in Detroit back in 1958

spent one day int he showroom

that was all I had to wait

I been good to those who owned me

so have no fear - come on boy put your money down

and get me out of here

Chorus

This car needs a young man to own him

one who will polish the chrome

I'll give you the rest of my lifetime

just don't let me die here alone

Just jump me some juice to my batt'ry

Give that ol' starter a spin

Here rust sputter, back fire to the carborator

and run me to life here once again

Chorus
