[VERSE 1]
           B                     
Pulled the engine, with the block 
     E
and chain
                 A                 
Got the oil pump in, just before 
  E
the rain
              B                  E
In the gravel drive, it's a Pontiac
       A                           
On the weekend you'll find me at 
  B
the track

[VERSE 2]
                B                  
It's a seventy-four, Dad bought it 
 E
new
             A                     
Still mostly stock, and it's rusted
 E
 through
       B                  
I only worry, 'bout what's 
      E
underneath
         A                      
What she looks like don't mean a 
         B
damn to me

[CHORUS]
                 A               
'Cause you don't need, that flash 
     E
and shine
         B                      
You just need to be hard off the 
 E
line
             A                   
So keep your lacquer, chrome and 
C#m
flames
B                      E
I'll paint mine primer gray

[VERSE 3]
             B                     
Some men are rich, and they'll let 
    E
you know
              A                 E
Some guys act tough, it's all a show
           B                  E
I know the things, men hold inside
      A                          
We're all about the same when you 
              B
turn out the lights

[CHORUS]
                 A               
'Cause you don't need, that flash 
     E
and shine
         B                      
You just need to be hard off the 
 E
line
             A                   
So keep your lacquer, chrome and 
C#m
flames
B                      E
I'll paint mine primer gray

[BRIDGE]
B                               E
Dad was pretty fast back in the day
B                           E
Bring that trophy home now, Mama 
used to say
     A                     
It'd sit there on the shelf 
           E
gathering dust
              B                   
Luck turns to loss, and chrome to 
E
rust

[VERSE 4]
              B                
I've got that car, detailed and 
 E
tuned
            A                      
My boy's sixteen, he'll be driving 
E
soon
             B              
But he won't drive, that old 
         E
seventy-four
A                                  
Kids today they all want something 
B
more

[FINAL CHORUS]
                 A               
'Cause you don't need, that flash 
     E
and shine
         B                      
You just need to be hard off the 
 E
line
             A                   
So keep your lacquer, chrome and 
C#m
flames
B                      E
I'll paint mine primer gray
              A                C#m
It's what you do, not what you say
B                      E
I'll paint mine primer gray
