Rusty Old American Dream chords

[C]Well, I don't look all that ragged for [F]all the time it's [C]been,
But I'm weakened underneath me where my [G]frame is rusted thin.
And [C]this year's state inspection just [F]barely [C]passed

Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy,
This [G]year could be my [C]last.


I'm a [F]tailfin road loco[C]motive from the [G]days of cheap gaso[C]line,
And I'm for [F]sale by the side of the [C]road going [Am]nowhere,
A [F]rusty old [G]American [C]dream.

[C]I rolled off the line in Detroit back in [F]1958[C] ,
Spent three days in the showroom, that's [G]all I had to wait.
I've been [C]good to all who owned me, so [F]have no [C]fear;
C'mon, boy, put your money down and [G]get me out of [C]here!

I'm a [F]tailfin road loco[C]motive from the [G]days of cheap gaso[C]line,
And I'm for [F]sale by the side of the [C]road going [Am]nowhere,
A [F]rusty old [G]American [C]dream.

This [C]car needs a young man to own him
One who will polish the [F]chrome,
I will [F]give you the rest of my [C]lifetime,
But [Am]don't let me die here [D]alone.

Just jump me some juice to my battery,
Give that old starter a [G]spin,
Hear me whir, sputter, [D]backfire through the [Bm]carberator,
And [G]roar into [A]life once [D]again.

I'm a [G]tailfin road loco[D]motive,
You can [A]polish my chrome so [D]clean
We can [G]fly off into the [D]sunset to[Bm]gether,
A [G]rusty old [A]American [D]dream
Still a [Bm]runnin',
[G]Rusty Old [A]American [D]Dream
