Built In The Fifties

[Verse 1]
Got a dash full of stories
Rust creeping up my doors
Chrome peeling at the edges
Still rolling
Still want more

Whitewalls on these worries
Faded paint
A little scored
But I fire up most mornings
Original
Unrestored

[Chorus]
I was built in the fifties
Bolts and bones
A little worn
Some parts still in working order
Some were patched
Some were torn
I'm a long road kind of heartbeat
Out-of-date and never bored
I was built in the fifties
Original and unrestored

[Verse 2]
Buttons loose on this jacket
Laugh lines where the miles have shown
Radio hums the static
Of every place I've called home

Map folded in the glove box
For roads I can’t afford
But my stubborn old ignition
Keeps on turning toward

[Chorus]
I was built in the fifties
Bolts and bones
A little worn
Some parts still in working order
Some were patched
Some were torn
I'm a long road kind of heartbeat
Out-of-date and never bored
I was built in the fifties
Original and unrestored
