Rusty Old American Dream David Wilcox
***capo 2
[C]Well I don't look all that ragged for [F+2]all the time it's [C]been.
[Gsus4]But I'm weakened underneath me where my frame is rusted thin.
And [C]this year's state inspection I just [F+2]barely [C]passed.
Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy this [Gsus4]year could be my [C]last.
I'm a [F+2]tail-finned road loco[C]motive
From the [Gsus4]days of cheap gaso[C]line.
I'm for [F+2]sale by the side of the [C]road going [Am7]nowhere,
A [F+2]rusty old A[Gsus4]merican [C]dream.
I rolled off the line in Detroit back in [F+2]nineteen fifty-[C]eight.
Spent three days in the showroom, that's all I had to [Gsus4]wait.
I've been [C]good to all who owned me, so [F+2]have no [C]fear.
C'mon boy, put your money down and [Gsus4]get me outta [C]here.
I'm a [F+2]tail-finned road loco[C]motive
From the [Gsus4]days of cheap gaso[C]line.
I'm for [F+2]sale by the side of the [C]road going [Am7]nowhere,
A [F+2]rusty old A[Gsus4]merican [C]dream.
[(C)]Now this car needs a young man to own him.
One who will polish the c[F+2]hrome.
I will give you the rest of my [C]lifetime[Am7]
B'[F+2]don't let me die here a[Gsus4]lone.
(capo III)
Ya just [C]jump me some juice to my ba'ttry.
Give that old starter a [F+2]spin.
Hear me whirr, sputter, [C]backfire through the [Am7]carburetor
And [F+2]roar into [Gsus4]life once a[C]gain.
I am a [F+2]tail-finned road loco[C]motive
You can [Gsus4]polish my chrome so [C]clean.
We can [F+2]fly off into the [C]sunset to[Am7]gether,
[F+2]Rusty old A[Gsus4]merican [C]dream - still [Am7]runnin'
[F+2]Rusty old A[Gsus4]merican [C]dream.
