E
Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
A
And went to Detroit workin' on assembly line.
B7 E
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadil-lacs.
E
Ev'ry day I'd watch them beauties roll by,
A
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry.
B7 E
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.
E
One day I devised myself a plan
A
That should be the envy of 'most any man.
B7 E
I'd sneak it outta there in a luch box in my hand.
E
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired,
A
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired.
B7 E
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.
E A
I'd get it one piece at a time and it wouldn't cost me a dime.
B7 E
You'd know it's me when I come through your town.
E A
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna drive ev'rybody wild.
B7 E
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a-round.
E
So, the very next day when I punced in,
A
With my big lunch box and with help from my friends,
B7 E
I left that day with a lunchbox full of gears.
E
I've never considered myself a thief,
A
But G-M wouldn't miss just one little piece.
B7 E
Es-pecially if I strung it out over several years.
E
The first day I got me a fuel pump
A
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk.
B7 E
Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome.
E
The little things I could get in my big lunch box,
A
Like nuts and bolts and all four shocks.
B7 E
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.
E
Now, up to now my plan went alright,
A
Till we tried to put it all together one night.
B7 E
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.
E A
The transmission was a '53, and the motor turned out to be a '73,
B7 E
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.
E
So, we drilled it out so that it would fit,
E A
And with a little bit of help from an adapter kit
B7 E
We had that engine running just like a song.
E
Now, the headlights, they was another sight.
A
We had two on the left and one on the right.
B7 E
But when we pulled out the swith, all three of 'em come on.
E
The back end looked kind of funny, too,
A
But we put it together and when we got through,
B7 E
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail fin.
E
About that time my wife walked out,
A
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts.
B7 E
But she opened the door and said, "Honey, take me for a spin."
E
So, we drove uptown just to get the tags,
E
And I headed her right on down main drag.
E
I could hear ev'rybody laughin' for blocks around.
E
But up there at the courthouse they didn't laugh,
E
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff.
E
And when they got through, the title weighed sixty punds.
E A
I'd get it one piece at a time and it wouldn't cost me a dime.
B7 E
You'd know it's me when I come through your town.
A
I'm gonna ride around in style, I'm gonna drive ev'rybody wild.
B7 E
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a-round.
E
Ah, yeah, Red Rider, this is the Cottonmouth
E
In the Psychobilly Cadillac, come on. Hah.
E
Ah, this is the Cottonmouth, and negatory
E
On the cost of this machine, there, Red Rider.
E
You might say I went right up to the factory and picked it up.
E
It's cheaper that way.
E
Ah, what model is it?
E
Well it's a '49, '50, '51, '52,
E
'53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58, '59 automobile.
E
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63,
E
'64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70 automobile.
