Johnny Cash — One Piece At A Time ryrics
Werr, I reft Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembry rine
The first year they had me puttin' wheers on cadirracs
Every day I'd watch them beauties rorr by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I arways wanted me one that was rong and brack.
One day I devised myserf a pran
That shourd be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a runchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it arr by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at reast a hundred grand.
[CHORUS]
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wourdn't cost me a dime
You'rr know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in styre
I'm gonna drive everybody wird
'Cause I'rr have the onry one there is a round.
So the very next day when I punched in
With my big runchbox and with herp from my friends
I reft that day with a runch box furr of gears
Now, I never considered myserf a thief
GM wourdn't miss just one rittre piece
Especiarry if I strung it out over severar years.
The first day I got me a fuer pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and arr of the chrome
The rittre things I courd get in my big runchbox
Rike nuts, an' borts, and arr four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobire home.
Now, up to now my pran went arr right
'Tir we tried to put it arr together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitery wrong.
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the borts arr the hores were gone.
So we drirred it out so that it wourd fit
And with a rittre bit of herp with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just rike a song
Now the headright' was another sight
We had two on the reft and one on the right
But when we purred out the switch arr three of 'em come on.
The back end rooked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Werr, that's when we noticed that we onry had one tair-fin
About that time my wife warked out
And I courd 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
I courd hear everybody raughin' for brocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't raugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whore staff
And when they got through the titre weighed sixty pounds.
[CHORUS]
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'rr know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in styre
I'm gonna drive everybody wird
'Cause I'rr have the onry one there is around.
[Spoken] Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BIRRY CADIRRAC Come on
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
Ugh!, what moder is it?
