Rollin Brummette - Silver Beauty Lyrics

I could barely hear myself think
When I'd take her off down the road
But she was a helluva lot better
Than that girl that came from Mexico
And Valvoline wet her whistle
It wasn't like that when we first met
Just a couple quarts here and there
Turned her into quite the leaky mess
She might've had a little too much rust
But thats why I sure loved
My Silver Beauty
Now Silver used to make me money
Knockin doors for a politicians
And voters gave me lots of shit
For driving a car that ain't American
And she got pretty good mileage
Cuz she couldn't make it over eighty
Usually going to my cabin
North of the Manistee
Coulda tried rolling coal
But I'd rather go to and fro
In My Silver Beauty
3000 miles short of 400
I was driving back from Tennessee
Her engine was burning and boiling hot and
Spittin out tons of steam
And now she sitting in a dealership
Coulda saved her if I had a little change
Im sorry Silver Beauty
Well you dont know what you got
Til you sell it to a junk yard
Cuz they just wanna by it cheap and turn it around and sell it for them parts
And I thank god transformers
Aint real cuz if they were
I know Silver would want revenge
For that promise I made to her
When I told her I'll be back again
But I knew that time would end
For my Silver Beauty
And I wish I got just one more chance
I wish I got another goodbye
I wish that yard would me send the check
Cuz my wells runnin dry
Life will never be the same
Cuz Im selfish and I had to leave
My Silver Beauty
