Letra de One Piece at a Time
<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Well, I left Kentucky back in '49<span><br/>And went to Detroit working on assembly line<br/>The first year they had me putting wheels on Cadillacs<span><br/>Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by<br/>And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry<br/>Because I always wanted me one that was long and black<span><br/>One day I devised myself a plan<br/>That should be the envy of most any man<br/>I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand<br/>Now getting caught meant getting fired<span><br/>But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired<br/>I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand<span><br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>I'd get it one piece at a time<br/>And it wouldn't cost me a dime<br/>You'd know it's me when I come through your town<br/>I'm going to ride around in style<br/>I'm going to drive everybody wild<br/>Because I'll have the only one there is around<br/>[Verse 2]<br/>So the very next day when I punched in<br/>With my big lunchbox, and with help from my friend<br/>I left that day with a lunchbox full of gears<br/>I've never considered myself a thief<br/>But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece<br/>Especially if I strung it out over several years<span><br/>The first day I got me a fuel pump<br/>And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk<br/>Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome<br/>The little things I could get in my big lunchbox<br/>Like nuts, and bolts, and all four shocks<br/>But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home<br/>Now, up to now my plan went all right<br/>Until we tried to put it all together one night<br/>And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong<br/>The transmission was a '53<br/>And the motor turned out to be a '73<span><br/>And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone<br/>So we drilled it out so that it would fit<br/>And with a little bit of help from an a-daptor kit<span><br/>We had that engine running just like a song<br/>Now the headlights, they was another sight<br/>We had two on the left and one on the right<br/>But when we pulled out the switch all three of them come on<span><br/>The back end looked kind of funny too<br/>But we put it together and when we got through<br/>Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin<span><br/>About that time my wife walked out<br/>And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts<br/>But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin"<br/>So we drove up town just to get the tags<br/>And I headed her right on down main drag<br/>I could hear everybody laughing for blocks around<span><br/>But up there at the courthouse they didn't laugh<br/>Because to type it up it took the whole staff<br/>And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds<span><br/>[Chorus]<br/>I got it one piece at a time<br/>And it didn't cost me a dime<br/>You'll know it's me when I come through your town<br/>I'm going to ride around in style<br/>I'm going to drive everybody wild<br/>Because I'll have the only one there is around<br/><br/>[Outro]<span><br/>Uh, yeah, Red Ryder?<br/>This is the Cotton Mouth<br/>In the Psycho-Billy Cadillac, come on<br/>Huh? This is the Cotton Mouth<br/>And negatory on the cost of this mo-chine, there, Red Ryder<br/>You might say I went right up to the factory<br/>And picked it up, it's cheaper that way<span><br/>Uh, what model is it?<span><br/>Well, it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56<br/>'57, '58, '59 automobile<br/>It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67<br/>'68, '69, '70 automobile<span>
