Bb
A
This is the way that it was.
Just as far back as I can remember,
D
I was always hanging around a
drafty old garage,
getting grease on my hands and feet,
smelling the exhaust
and watching my dad and brothers
tear down an old truck or Model T,
G
pick_ ing up a wore out fan belt
or some other kind of souvenirs.
Only one thing on my mind,
man, I was dying to dig into them gears.
C
So when I was old enough
F
Fm
to get my driver's license and permit,
C
I chucked it all.
Quit the 11th grade,
went into debt to get my first rig.
A
Skipped town several hundred
bucks in arrears.
Headed down the open highway,
eating that concrete coming my way.
Brother, I had it made.
D
At long last I was jammin' gears
I got to know all the spots
along the way
And they got to know me
I courted the waitresses and the cashiers
G
I had a line that wouldn't quit
I was king of the highway
B
G
A self -admitted heartbreaker on wheels
They treated me to the coffee
C
And I treated them to the beers
F
Them gals couldn't figure out
What went on inside my head
C
How could they when you and I know
There ain't nothin' in this old
noggin'
A
Except maybe some gears
Finally set my sights on a
pretty little thing
South of Ardmore
Every time I pulled away from her place
D
I had to face a whole parcel of her tears
So I says,
hon, if you don't like my leavin'
Then you just pack your little old bag
And jump on board
Ain't nobody gonna stop you
G
if you wanna flag my rig
Watch old daddy make her swing
And for some pretty music,
just listen to the hummin' of my gears.
C
Well, I ditched her down in Brownsville.
F
Told her my run
C
would bring me back in a week or two.
Man, I was fed up,
clean to my ears.
A
Love them and leave them
was my motto.
I had tracks to make,
so I flew the coop.
Turned old Ginny around
and headed north.
This time I mean to tell you
D
I was really pushing them gears.
Latched on to another
up in Kokomo.
This looked like the real thing
so I popped the question quick.
G
That's what you gotta do
whenever old Ann Cupid appears.
We tied the knot
and rented a place up the road.
She didn't seem to mind
my leaving near as much as I did.
C
I just made sure that none of my runs
F
took me near Brownsville
Fm
C
cause that and down there could surely
A
recognize the sound of my gears.
Well, you know that old saying,
that bad nickel always reappears.
Next night when I got home,
there was Brownsville
D
sitting across from my wife.
The wife was crying,
the other not saying nothing.
Nothing now, that is.
And don't you know
she had said plenty already.
G
What with all the lies she had piled
up on top of the truth.
D
She just sat there silent
G
D
G
like her face all covered with smears.
A
C
I couldn't say nothing either_
cause inside my head
F
something had already started spinning.
Fm
C
They was roar_ ing and they was grinding
and all of a sudden
I was at the wheel.
A
We was in a blizzard
and a sandstorm at the same time.
We was headed down
Baker's Ridge
wide open
and the brakes was gone.
D
The horns and the sirens
was blasting my head off.
The hood flew off
D
and the motor opene_ d up right in my face.
F
D
G
D
I was diving head first right straight into them whirling,
G
C
B
Bb
A
grinding, spinning, greasy gears.
Well, that's all of my
story, Mr. Reporter.
Just tell them I'm real sorry
for what I done.
Think it'll come out in the papers
D
before that old warden appears?
If it's worth anything to you,
just give it to my widow.
Don't know where she is.
G
Just check the truck stops
between here and Kokomo.
C
That'll be her sit_ ting there
G
over a couple of beers.
And that guy that's buying them,
C
I'll lay you a million to one.
F
Fm
He ain't nothing but a crazy
C
mixed -up dropout
That run away from home
G
A
To make his fortune eat_ in' con_ crete
And jammin' them galding, greasy gears
D
