Rusty Old American Dream

D                                 
I don't look all that ragged for 
G                 D
all the time it's been,
But I'm weakend underneath me where 
     A
my frame has rusted thin.
     D                           
And this here state inspection, I 
       G      D
just barely passed.
D
Won't you drive me 'cross the 
country, boy,
      A                D
This year could be my last.

       G                  D
I'm a tail-fin road locomotive
          A                 D
From the days of cheap gasoline.
     G                       D    
For sale on the side of the road, 
        Bm
goin' nowhere.
Em          A        D
Rusty old American dream.

Spent two days on the show room,
        A
That's all I had to wait.
           D                       
I've been good to all who've owned 
        G       D
me, so have no fear.

Come on, boy, put your money down
     A            D
And get me outta here.

This car needs a young man to own 
him,
                          G
One who will polish the chrome.
I'll give you the rest of my

lifetime,
     Em                     A     
*key changes*
But don't let me die here alone.

Just jump me some juice to my 
battery,
                         A
Give that old starter a spin.
