Lyrics for One Piece At A Time by JOHNNY CASH:

| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | One Piece At A Time | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
Now, I never considered myself a thief
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.
