One Piece At A Time - King of the Road[00:00:00]
Well I left Kentucky back in '49 and[00:00:12]
Went to Detroit workin' on the assembly line[00:00:15]
The first year they had me[00:00:18]
Puttin' wheels on Cadillacs[00:00:19]
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by[00:00:22]
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry[00:00:24]
Cuz I always wanted me one[00:00:27]
That was long and black[00:00:29]
One day I devised myself a plan[00:00:31]
That should be the envy of most any man[00:00:34]
I'd sneak it outta there in a lunchbox in my hand[00:00:36]
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired[00:00:41]
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired[00:00:43]
I'd have me a car worth at least 100 grand[00:00:46]
I'd get it one piece at a time[00:00:50]
And it wouldn't cost me a dime[00:00:53]
You'll know it's me[00:00:55]
When I come through your town[00:00:56]
I'm gonna ride around in style[00:01:00]
I'm gonna drive everybody wild[00:01:02]
Cuz I'll have the only one there is around[00:01:04]
So the very next day when I punched in[00:01:10]
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friend[00:01:12]
I left that day with a lunchbox full of gears[00:01:15]
I've never considered myself a thief[00:01:19]
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece[00:01:21]
Especially if I strung it out over several years[00:01:24]
The first day I got me a fuel pump[00:01:29]
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk[00:01:31]
Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome[00:01:34]
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox[00:01:38]
Like nuts and bolts and all 4 shocks[00:01:40]
But the big stuff we snuck out my buddy's mobile home[00:01:43]
Now up to now my plan went alright[00:01:48]
'Til we tried to put it all together one night[00:01:50]
And that's when we noticed[00:01:53]
That somethin' was definitly wrong[00:01:54]
The transmission was a '53 and[00:01:57]
The motor turned out to be a '73 and[00:02:00]
When we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone[00:02:02]
So we drilled it out so that it would fit and[00:02:07]
With a little help from an adapter kit[00:02:09]
We had that engine runnin' just like a song[00:02:12]
Now the headlights they was another sight[00:02:16]
We had 2 on the left and 1 on the right[00:02:19]
But when we pulled out the switch all 3 of 'em come on[00:02:21]
The back end looked kinda funny too[00:02:26]
But we put it together and when we got through[00:02:28]
Well that's when we noticed that we only had 1 tail fin[00:02:31]
About that time my wife walked out and[00:02:36]
I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts[00:02:38]
But she opened the door and said[00:02:40]
"Honey take me for a spin"[00:02:42]
So we drove uptown just to get the tags and[00:02:45]
I headed her right on down main drag[00:02:47]
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around[00:02:50]
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh[00:02:54]
Cuz to type it up it took the whole staff and[00:02:57]
When they got through the title weighed 60 pounds[00:03:00]
I'd got it one piece at a time[00:03:04]
And it didn't cost me a dime[00:03:06]
You'll know it's me when I come through your town[00:03:09]
I'm gonna ride around in style[00:03:13]
I'm gonna drive everybody wild[00:03:16]
Cuz I'll have the only one there is around[00:03:18]
Uh yeah Red Rider this is the Cotton Mouth in the[00:03:25]
Psycho Billy Cadillac come on[00:03:28]
Huh [00:03:31]
Uh this is the Cotton Mouth and neg-a-tory on the[00:03:33]
Cost of this moe-sheen there Red Rider[00:03:36]
You might say I went right up to the factory and[00:03:39]
Picked it up it's cheaper that way[00:03:41]
Uh what model is it [00:03:44]
Well it's a 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59[00:03:46]
Automobile[00:03:53]
