Verse 1
D
D
Well, I left Kentucky back in forty nine
G
G
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
A
A
The first year they had me,
D
D
puttin' wheels on Cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
G
G
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
A
A
'Cause I always wanted me one,
D
D
that was long and black
One day I devised myself a plan
G
G
That should be the envy of most any man
A
A
I'd sneak it out of there,
D
D
in lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
G
G
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
A
A
I'd have me a car,
D
D
worth at least a hundred grand
Chorus 1
D
D
I'd get it one piece at a time
G
G
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
A
A
You'll know it's me,
D
D
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
G
G
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
A
A
D
D
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
Verse 2
D
D
So the very next next day when I punched in
G
G
With my big lunchbox,
and with help from my friends
A
A
D
D
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
G
G
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
A
A
D
D
Especially if I strung it out over several years
The first day I got me a fuel pump
G
G
And the next day,
I got me an engine and a trunk
A
A
Then I got me a transmission,
D
D
and all the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
G
G
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
A
A
But the big stuff we snuck out,
D
D
in my buddy's mobile home
Verse 3
D
D
Now, up to now my plan went all right
G
G
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
A
A
And that's when we noticed,
D
D
that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a fifty three
G
G
And the motor turned out to be,
a seventy three
A
A
And when we tried to put in the bolts,
D
D
all the holes were gone
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
G
G
And with a little bit of help,
from an adapter kit
A
A
D
D
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
G
G
We had two on the left and one on the right
A
A
But when we pulled out the switch,
D
D
all three of 'em come on.
Verse 4
D
D
The back end looked kinda funny too
G
G
But we put it together,
and when we got through
A
A
Well, that's when we noticed,
D
D
that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
G
G
And I could see in her eye,
that she had her doubts
A
A
But she opened the door and said
D
D
"Honey, take me for a spin."
So we drove up town just to get the tags
G
G
And I headed her right on down main drag
A
A
I could hear everybody laughin'
D
D
for blocks around
But up there at the court house,
they didn't laugh
G
G
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
A
A
And when they got through,
D
D
the title weighed sixty pounds
Chorus 2
D
D
I got it one piece at a time
G
G
And it didn't cost me a dime
A
A
You'll know it's me,
D
D
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
G
G
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
A
A
D
D
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
Interlude 1
D
D
Ugh! Yeah, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on
D
D
Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost,
of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
D
D
Ugh!, what model is it?
