One Piece At A Times(Live at The Carter Fold, Hiltons, VA,) - Johnny Cash
Well, I left Kentucky
back in forty nine
An' went to Detroit
workin' on a 'sembly line

The first year they had me
puttin' wheels on Cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by

And sometimes I'd hang
my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me
one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy
of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in
a lunchbox in my hand

Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all
by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth
at least a hundred grand.

I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me
when I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style

I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only
one there is around.

When the very next day
when I punched in
With my big lunchbox

and with help from my friends

I left that day with
a lunch box full of gears

I've never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss
just one little piece

Especially if I strung it
out over several years.

Well the first day I got me
a fuel pump
And the next day I got me
an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission

and all the chrome

The little things I could
get in my big lunchbox

Like nuts, an' bolts,
and all four shocks

But the big stuff we snuck out
in my buddy's mobile home.

Well, up to now my
plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all
together one night

And that's when we noticed
that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a fifty three
And the motor turned
out to be a seventy three

And when we tried to put in
the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help
with an adapter kit

We had that engine runnin'
just like a song

Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left
and one on the right
But when we pulled out the
switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together
and when we got through

Well, that's when we noticed
that we only had one tail-fin

About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes
that she had her doubts
But she opened the door
and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right
on down main drag
you could hear everybody
laughin' for blocks around

But up there at the court
house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up
it took the whole staff

And when they got through
the title weighed sixty pounds.

I got it one piece at a time

And it wouldn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me when
I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only one
there is around.

Ugh! Yeah, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH

In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh
