[00:12.92] |
Well I left Kentucky back in '49 and |
[00:15.20] |
Went to Detroit workin' on the assembly line |
[00:17.70] |
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs |
[00:22.41] |
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by |
[00:24.91] |
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry |
[00:27.25] |
Cuz I always wanted me one that was long and black |
[00:31.91] |
One day I devised myself a plan |
[00:34.26] |
That should be the envy of most any man |
[00:36.92] |
I'd sneak it outta there in a lunchbox in my hand |
[00:41.43] |
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired |
[00:43.82] |
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired |
[00:46.33] |
I'd have me a car worth at least 100 grand |
[00:50.78] |
I'd get it one piece at a time |
[00:53.17] |
And it wouldn't cost me a dime |
[00:55.52] |
You'll know it's me when I come through your town |
[01:00.15] |
I'm gonna ride around in style |
[01:02.45] |
I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
[01:04.99] |
Cuz I'll have the only one there is around |
[01:09.79] |
So the very next day when I punched in |
[01:12.09] |
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friend |
[01:14.68] |
I left that day with a lunchbox full of gears |
[01:18.98] |
I've never considered myself a thief |
[01:21.42] |
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece |
[01:23.68] |
Especially if I strung it out over several years |
[01:28.38] |
The first day I got me a fuel pump |
[01:30.68] |
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk |
[01:33.08] |
Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome |
[01:37.52] |
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox |
[01:39.97] |
Like nuts and bolts and all 4 shocks |
[01:42.51] |
But the big stuff we snuck out my buddy's mobile home |
[01:47.10] |
Now up to now my plan went alright |
[01:49.10] |
'Til we tried to put it all together one night |
[01:51.69] |
And that's when we noticed that somethin' was definitly wrong |
[01:56.20] |
The transmission was a '53 and |
[01:58.40] |
The motor turned out to be a '73 and |
[02:01.02] |
When we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone |
[02:05.47] |
So we drilled it out so that it would fit and |
[02:07.74] |
With a little help from an adapter kit |
[02:10.24] |
We had that engine runnin' just like a song |
[02:14.89] |
Now the headlights, they was another sight |
[02:16.79] |
We had 2 on the left and 1 on the right |
[02:19.50] |
But when we pulled out the switch all 3 of 'em come on |
[02:24.09] |
The back end looked kinda funny too |
[02:26.14] |
But we put it together and when we got through |
[02:28.65] |
Well that's when we noticed that we only had 1 tail fin |
[02:33.18] |
About that time my wife walked out and |
[02:35.49] |
I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts |
[02:37.89] |
But she opened the door and said |
[02:39.53] |
'Honey, take me for a spin' |
[02:42.82] |
So we drove uptown just to get the tags and |
[02:44.62] |
I headed her right on down main drag |
[02:47.82] |
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around |
[02:52.12] |
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh |
[02:54.76] |
Cuz to type it up it took the whole staff and |
[02:56.95] |
When they got through the title weighed 60 pounds |
[03:01.33] |
I'd got it one piece at a time |
[03:03.74] |
And it didn't cost me a dime |
[03:06.10] |
You'll know it's me when I come through your town |
[03:10.45] |
I'm gonna ride around in style |
[03:13.00] |
I'm gonna drive everybody wild |
[03:15.42] |
Cuz I'll have the only one there is around |
[03:21.87] |
Uh, yeah Red Rider this is the Cotton Mouth in the |
[03:24.67] |
Psycho Billy Cadillac, come on |
[03:28.56] |
Huh? |
[03:30.87] |
Uh, this is the Cotton Mouth and neg-a-tory on the |
[03:32.76] |
Cost of this moe-sheen there Red Rider |
[03:35.40] |
You might say I went right up to the factory and |
[03:37.46] |
Picked it up, it's cheaper that way |
[03:40.75] |
Uh, what model is it? |
[03:42.81] |
Well it's a 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 |
[03:49.61] |
Automobile |
[03:52.13] |
It's a 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 |
