Well, I left Kentucky back in ´49
An´ went to Detroit workin´ on a ´sembly line
The first year they had me puttin´ wheels on Cadillacs
Every day I´d watch them beauties roll by

And sometimes I´d hang my head and cry
´Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I´d sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin´ caught meant gettin´ fired
But I figured I´d have it all by the time I retired
I´d have me a car worth at least a hundred grand

I´d get it one piece at a time and it wouldn´t cost me a dime
You´ll know it´s me when I come through your town
I´m gonna ride around in style, I´m gonna drive everybody wild

´Cause I´ll have the only one there is a round

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I´ve never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn´t miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an´ bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy´s mobile home

Now, up to now my plan went all right
´Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that´s when we noticed that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a ´53 and the motor turned out to be a ´73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an adapter kit
We had that engine runnin´ just like a song
Now the headlight´ was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of ´em come on

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got through
Well, that´s when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said, "Honey, take me for a spin"

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin´ for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn´t laugh
´Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds

I got it one piece at a time and it didn´t cost me a dime
You´ll know it´s me when I come through your town
I´m gonna ride around in style, I´m gonna drive everybody wild
´Cause I´ll have the only one there is around

Uh yow, Red Ryder, this is the cotton mouth
In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac come on, huh, this is the cotton mouth
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it´s cheaper that way
Uh, what model is it?

Well, it´s a ´49, ´50, ´51, ´52, ´53, ´54, ´55, ´56

´57, ´58´ 59´ automobile
It´s a ´60, ´61, ´62, ´63, ´64, ´65, ´66, ´67
´68, ´69, ´70 automobile
