D G D

I don't look all that ragged for all the time it's been,

A

But I'm weakend underneath me where my frame has rusted thin.

D G D

And this here state inspection, I just barely passed.

D

Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy,

A D

This year could be my last.

G D

I'm a tail-fin road locomotive

A D

From the days of cheap gasoline.

G D Bm

For sale on the side of the road, goin' nowhere.

Em A D

Rusty old American dream.

D G D

I rolled off the line of Detroit in 1958.

Spent two days on the show room,

A

That's all I had to wait.

D G D

I've been good to all who've owned me, so have no fear.

Come on, boy, put your money down

A D

And get me outta here.

G D

I'm a tail-fin road locomotive

A D

From the days of cheap gasoline.

G D Bm

For sale on the side of the road, goin' nowhere.

Em A D

Rusty old American dream.

D

This car needs a young man to own him,

G

One who will polish the chrome.

D

I'll give you the rest of my lifetime,

Em A *key changes*

But don't let me die here alone.

E

Just jump me some juice to my battery,

A

Give that old starter a spin.

E *STOP* C#m

Hear me whir, sputter, backfire to the carburetor

F#m B E

and roar into life once again.

E A

I'm a tail-fin road locomotive

B E

From the days of cheap gasoline.

E A C#m

For sale on the side of the road, goin' nowhere.

F#m B E

Rusty old American dream.

C#m F#m B E

Still runnin', rusty old American dream.
