================================================= The seasons come the seasons go We get a little sunshine rain & snow Just the way that it was planned to be But there's no seasons in my heart While I play the leading part 'Cause the flowers will bloom eternally Your leavin' will bring Autumn's sorrow And my tears like withered leaves will fall But Spring could bring some glad tomorrow And darlin' we could be happy after all Just as it is in nature's plan No season gets the upper hand How I try to keep this fact in mind The trees are bare; the cold winds blow And by experience we should know Winter comes but the Spring is close behind Your leavin' will bring Autumn's sorrow And my tears like withered leaves will fall But Spring could bring some glad tomorrow And darlin' we could be happy after all =================================================

Well, I had to give her credit 'Cause she didn't pay with cash Bye, bye birds Get back home It's a long way down So you know There's a song in my head And a bum in your bed I don't know where I'm bound But I still gots to go If you see me & I'm drunk You pick me up down the road Well, I found her at a wedding Where we bargained with the lord And he called us up to heaven But we wound up on the floor Paul Woodhouse played a stand-up That he stole from Woody Pines He said, "That boy's just a chooch, I wouldn't trust him in a bind!"

================================================= Well, I left Kentucky back in '49 And went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs Now every day I'd watch them beauties roll by And sometimes I'd just hang my head & cry 'Cause I always wanted me one that was long & black So one day I devised myself a plan That should be the envy of most any man; I'd sneak it outta there in a lunchbox in my hand Now gettin' caught meant gettin' 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 And I'd get it one piece at a time And it wouldn't cost me a dime You'll know it's me when I come through your town I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna drive everybody wild 'Cause I'll have the only one there is around So the very next day when I punched in With my big lunchbox & with help from my friends I left that day with a lunchbox full of gears Now, I never considered myself a thief But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece Especially if I strung it out over several years The first day I got me a fuel pump And the next day I got me an engine & a trunk Then I got me the transmission & all the chrome The little things I got in my big lunchbox Like nuts & bolts & all four shocks But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home Now, up to now my plan went all right 'Til we tried to put it all together one night Well that's when we noticed That something was definitely wrong . . . The trans-a-mission was a '53 And the motor turned out to be a '73 And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone! So we drilled it out so that it would fit And with a little bit of help from my A-daptor kit We had that engine runnin' just like a song . . . Now the headlights they was another sight We had two on the left & one on the right But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on The back end looked kinda funny too But we put it all together & when we got through Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin About that time my wife walked out And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts But she opened the door and said, "Honey, take me for a spin!" So we got in the car just to get the tags And I headed a right on down main drag I could hear the people laughin' for blocks around But up there at the courthouse they didn't laugh 'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds Well I got it one piece at a time And it didn't cost me a dime You'll know it's me when I come through your town I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna drive everybody wild 'Cause I'll have the only one there is around (Spoken) Ugh . . . RED RYDER This is the COTTON MOUTH In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on Uh . . . This is the COTTON MOUTH And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER You might say I went right on up to the factory And picked it up . . . it's cheaper that way Huh?? What model is it? Well, it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58' 59' automobile It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70 automobile . . . =================================================
