Rusty set of wheels

Rusty set of wheels She said things are looking bright, I got most everything I need 3 dogs, 2 horses, a dependable ride and the means to succeed Now for somebody to compliment the situation with all that appeals And I’m wondering what that noise is driving along in my rusty set of wheels Yeah, I’m a ’62 Malibu that’s been left outside for far too many years Need my share of body work, I think I might have lost a couple gears But if I was on American Pickers those boys would be lookin’ at one of them steals Cause they would see the true beauty hidin’ under my rusty set of wheels Window’s got a film from road trip doobies and the tires could stand some air Despite the age I ain’t got too many miles, cause I haven’t been going anywhere Get behind my wheel and sit yourself down and just imagine how it feels New coat of paint and some work on my engine take a spin in my rusty set of wheels A rusty set of wheels will turn nary a head They say give me a pretty shiny one instead It’s not worth the effort, the sweat and elbow grease A big fast shiny ride is what you’ll need to please A rusty set of wheels just won’t get you anywhere Imagine all the laughter, how the people would stare No, a rusty set of wheels would never suit my taste Work too hard to settle for something so lower caste Well, I’m going to be the envy of those who appreciate The classic rumble of my engine as your windows vibrate But I’m not going to cover up the spots, don’t go for the fancy ordeals Cause there’s a certain kind of beauty in my rusty set of wheels When I head into town, and pull into the parking lot The buffs will crane their neck to see what I’ve got I may not be the prettiest, but I still have some appeal There’s plenty of magic left inside this rusty set of wheels Tim Windisch 04/29/2021
