From the Ginger Merkin record (Outlaws Of Excess)

lyrics

Dearborn 1953
From a crucible of sparks and fire
Out of a Pennsylvania state foundry
Well all these years later what Detroit make
Don't look no good to me

Sale on the lot Ford
golden anniversary
They had a sea full of cars ,but that truck really spoke to me
They had a choice of raven black or sea foam green
My friends all said found on road dead ,but she looked real good to me
I made up my mind
saved every dime
Sixteen hundred dollars have
a hell of a time
A double shift at the mill
sold everything I own
I'll take all the bells and whistles
and a Klaxon horn
I signed for the keys and a short term loan
Start her up
She howls and moans

25 years later in 78
I"ve got a child on the way
Doctor says it's late
Well the trucks a bit rusty
Think the seals blown
I find a radiator leak
Then my wife water broke

Well I start her up she coughs and groans
But to my ears
She Howls and moans
(bridge)
Flat head v8 to the redline
I think the tire picked up a nail
I ran 8 red lights and twelve stop sign
That klaxon horn cleared the way

All these years later and presently
I chopped that roof and dropped it way down low
I gotta keep that F truck in the family
Well all these years later
What Detroit make
Don't look no good to me

I gave it to my daughter now all grown
She painted it pink
and I howled and moaned
