well i left kentucky back in 9
C
and went to detroit workin on a assembly line
G
the first year they had me putting wheels on cadillacs
Am
every day i'd watch them beauties roll by
Am
and sometimes i'd hang my head and cry
Em
cuz i always wanted the one that was long and black
one day i devised myself a plan
that should be the envy of most any man
i'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
now getting caught meant getting fired
but i figured i'd have it all by the time i retired
i'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand
