57 Chevy |
LyricsI'm a vintage guitar in an alligator caseLeft down in the basement underneath the staircase I'm a bottle of wine all musty and dusty with age I'm an old bordeaux, I'm a double "O", I'm a cabernet. I'm a '57 Chevy driving a minivan I'm a bottle of whiskey stuck inside a beer can I'm a '47 Knucklehead changing up all my plans I'm a '57 Chevy, doing the best I can. Been out of work for a year but I'm making it through My wife still has a job, but these days it takes two Been chasing classifieds and doing interviews But nobody's hiring, so I just pick up any gig I can do. I'm a '47 Martin my Uncle Chris left me If it wasn't for that guitar, who knows where I'd be So now I'm singing for a living, while I'm laid off from the factory I'm a '57 Chevy, So come on take a ride with me. Been out of work for a year but I'm making it through My wife still has a job, but these days it takes two So I've been chasing classifieds and doing interviews But nobody's hiring, so I just pick up any gig I can do. I'm a '57 Chevy driving a minivan I'm a bottle of whiskey, stuck inside a beer can I'm a '47 Knucklehead changing up all my plans I'm a '57 Chevy doing the best I can I'm a '47 Martin and I'm a playing in the band I'm a '57 Chevy, doing the best I can. |
