Granted SOME of you wouldn't swap out the flat head but still...
(Note: I'm in no way form or fashion ***ociated with Hennen, I just think it 's a great song that you guys would dig. )

"Metamorphosis"

(E-Organ intro)

He combs the papers, look'n for a find.
Nothing all that particular in mind.
Just something to tear down and put back together again.

And it started for him back in '63.
When gas was cheap and air was free
he could fill it for less than 5 and have some to spend.

An ad was run in the paper in Dallas.
A half a dozen words that you'd hardly notice.
Mercury, two door, 1940.

And on the tail end off a Sunday slumber
He picked up a pad and wrote down the number.
Down Lancaster Road he'd go.

A fella kept this car in an old tool shed
where the sun never shone and the spiders fled.
Runn'n from blue jays, the rain, and the heat.

And after 25 year of sitt'n there in the dark.
The old man figured it was time for a new start.
For this old 2 door, 8 cylinder heap.

He said "I'll sell it. If you promise me this.
You'll leave it like it is. Cause I'm starting to miss
the old cars, and the old days."

"You can trust man, I won't change a thing,
Wouldn't touch this baby, don't worry about a thing.
Here's the money, there's the trailer, and I'll just haul it home."

(Nice E-Guitar and E-Organ solos)

Now this fella could weld, he rebuilt frames.
And another fella painted all these, seperate things
that these guys work out, a****st themselves.

And when the finally started they were balls to the wall.
A few months later this guy'll make a phone call
And say "Ok, I'm finished let's take it over to Jim".

Jim get's it and he rips out the seats
And he covers 'em over and puts in pleats
From what ever it was Red Mohair?

And they sink in these things they call French Tail lights
God knows what else maybe street side pipes
And that color from 1940 is now Washington Blue.

So, there she sits when the works all done,
With a new V8 and the old Flat Head is gone.
It's what all the Fella's call a "Good little ride".

And the old man who sold it sleeps at night
with an uncluttered mind 'cause he let her go right
And rests ***ured that old car won't change.

Yeah, RIGHT!

Like the highways, who we were, and what we are
40 year old men
Driv'n 50 year old cars.

And it all started for him back in '63 when gas was cheap
and air was free when gas was cheap and air was free.
He could fill it for less than 5 and have some to spend.

Yeah it all started for him back in '63 when gas was cheap

Cool. Can we hear a sound clip?

 

Flat Top Tom has this great song he plays when he DJ's. Can't remember the name. Has a early Johnny Cash sound. It's about a car and his girl.

 

She was hotter than a two dollar pistol by George Jones. Gumpa

 

Here is a link to the song. It's actually pretty damn good.

Not bad, I've got it playing in the background right now.

 

He's got another one on that same CD about an old timer motorcycle guy. Pretty decent cd, IMHO.
