Old Car Fools
Tom Demarest 8/19/03

VERSE I:
I
Thought I could kick the habit, so I gave my old car away

To the guy next door in my neighborhood, you know it really made his day.
IV
But now his wife won‘t speak to my wife. She just glares when she jogs by.
I
She says “How could you do it to him? He was just an ordinary guy.
V IV
But now he’s just like you!!...... he keeps needin’ more ...... tools!!
V IV I
You turned a good man into one-a-them old car fools!!”


CHORUS:
IV
When you get hooked on them Old Cars, you start loosin’ your old freinds.
I
Cause you‘re always lookin’ and you can’t stop talkin’ bout the way they were way back when...
IV
But everytime you let someone else drive and you’re sittin’ on the passenger side,
V IV I
It gets real clear that it’s all about looks---not ride!


VERSE II:
I
Me and my high school buddies, oh what cars we had!!

If we had them today you know things wouldn’t be so bad...
IV
But now they’re all in that junkyard of busted worn out dreams
I
And if you’ve seen one like the one you had, then you know what I mean.
V IV
You can remember the feel... and you remember how far....
V IV I
You remember the first time you drove that old car.


VERSE III:
I
There’s a show on Sunday morning, comes on right after church.

You’ll never hear better old car talk, no matter where you search.
IV
So if you’re fightin yours.... they way I fight with mine.
I
Take a break from your wrenchin’....and pay close attention when they start to feed us the line.
V IV
It’s just a matter of fact..... most folks don’t know jack....
V IV I
That’s why we all keep listenin’ to “Click & Clack”. ------ (Cause....)
