lyrics

I once knew a man
And he drove a tin can
And he thought his tin can was the best one in the world
But one day a whip drove by
I saw the sparkle in his eye
He said, "I betcha I can make my rock a pearl"

So he went to the DMV
And for $15.93
He bought some pretty plates to put on his old ride
He bought some gold sticker stars
Put it on his beat up car
Just to go along with his little white lie

Did you know that old Willie
Drove that honky-tonk car
And it may not be real fast
But it got him really far
Went all the way from Hollywood
Back to Nashville, Tennessee
And that's where I found this car
And this car, well, it found me

Well, the numbers, they rolled in
It was 5 then it was 10
He sold it quick but lost the money in a bet
Took a loan from a lonely love
Tried to push and tried to shove
Just to get about all that he could get

Did you know that ol' woman
Took advantage of your dad
And she wouldn't stop her future
To realize what she had
Went all the way from Colorado
Back to Clarksville, Tennessee
And that's where I left that woman
And that woman, she left me

Well sometimes now I wonder
If that car is doing fine
And I know that womans' crazy
So well I call it mine
I guess we'll be okay somewhere
South of Tennessee
And that man, well he's somewhere
And somewhere he will be

And that man, I don't miss him
I don't care if he misses me
