Cledus T. Judd

New Car

Come on you no good worthless piece of foreign

Wait while I get me a royalty check

I'mma buy me an American made car

Piece of junk

People always shout obscenities

When I stall in their lane

They're all convinced when they see me

Driving this heap that I'm insane

But seat belted in

I push the gas down fearlessly

Breaks stop working then

I watch the engine overheat

I need a new car, I can't ever get far

This one breaks down on me all the time

It's got four bald tires and it always backfires

And I'm sick of that check engine light

I need a new car

I replaced all the cables and hoses

Had grease all over my face

For a couple weekends

I had parts thrown all over the place

I put it back together fast

But now it's even worse

Now my friends just laugh

'Cause it only goes in reverse

I need a new car, getting to work's hard

When you have to drive backwards all the time

I'd find a junkyard and I'd sell it for parts

But I know they won't give me a dime

I need a new car

I won't repair anymore

Now the dang transmission's about to fall out

The only thought that's on my brain is the new car

I could be driving now

Rumor is they're having a sale

At the push-pull or drag car lot

If I can get this towed down there

I swear I'll take anything they've got

So with a credit line

Of 20,000 plus

No interest or money down

And no more taking the bus

I got a new car looking like a big star

I don't care if the price was too high

It's got a VCR, cruise control and on star

So I know where I'm at all the time

I got a new car, he got a new car
