about

Sell the lot and leave in a long black Chevrolet.

lyrics

Got you and a Chevrolet.
Got you and a Chevrolet.
Got you and this old Chevrolet.
Flat broke. I'm outta everything.

Got you and a broken crown,
an old guitar that doesn't make a sound,
a little luggage tryin' to drag me down.
Just some things that I've keepin' 'round.

That old guitar could sing.
That old guitar could sing.

Got you and mom's old diamond ring
in a box tied with Christmas string.
Wrapped in paper towels and shiny things.
Fifty cents for songs no one would sing.

Thirty Years Of Baptist Lullabyes
slightly stained and packed with alabis.
When they're gone I think I'll take a ride.
No reserve and nothing set aside.

Got you and a Chevrolet,
a Rand McNally for to light the way.
All these words and not a thing to say.
Got you and a Chevrolet.

A long black Chevrolet.
A long black Chevrolet.
