Lyrics

Dear dad, don't get mad
What I'm asking for
Is by the next semester
Can I get another car ?
This one here is sick'ning
On a wide dual road
I might as well be walking
As to drive this old ford

Almost everytime I try
To go and pass a truck
If I ain't goin' down hill
Dad, I'm, out of luck
And even if I get by
It's still a rugged risk
The way this old ford
Keep a hitting and a miss

Last week when I was driving
On my way to school
I almost got a ticket
'Bout a freeway traffic rule
It's now a violation
Driving under forty-five
And if I push to fifty
This here ford will nosedive

Dad, I'm in great danger
Out here trying to drive
The way this ford wiggles
When I'm approaching forty-five/
I have to nurse it along
Like a little stubborn pup
And cars whizzing by me
Dad, look like I'm backing up

She just don't have the appetite
For gas somehow
And dad, I got four carburetors
Hooked up on it now
I tried to hook another
To see if I'd do a little good
But ain't no place to put it
'Less I perforate the hood

Well dad, send the money
See what I can see
Try to find a cadillac
A sixty-two or three
Just something that won't worry us
To keep it on the road
Sincerely, your beloved son
Henry junior ford
