THE WRECK OF THE OLD '97

Oh he bought it from Steve
a guy from Virginia,
a "97 mazda four door.
It had thirtyeight thousand,
and real nice tires,
and it never had no problems before

We he put down his money,
and he pulled out of Richburg (?)
he put his foot down on the gas.
And he turned on the radio,
and it wasn't workin',
all it would get was Bluegrass

He turned the dial,
and he twisted the antennae
it only got Bill Monroe.
And he got so mad,
that he stomped on the pedal,
though the highway sign said slow

Music Break

He was goin' down the hill,
makin' 90 miles an hour,
when out jumped a full grown deer.
He hit the brakes
he grabbed the shift lever
and he put it into parking gear.

Well, it tore out the U joints
and it burned the transmission,
it tore up the whole crankshaft.
And it knocked, the cup, of coffee off his dashboard
it fell right into his lap

It blew the front tires,
and the car flipped over,
and he could no longer steer.
In the trunk of the car,
he was carrying an anvil
it flew right past his ear.

Music break

And the airbag opened
as the car flipped over,
10 times it cartwheeled
Down the highway,
with the engine smokin'
it cam to rest in a field.

He leaped from the wreck, and he dove for cover,
and heard the flames,
as the roared and crackled,
and he also heard Bill Monroe

The radio played,
as the flames leaped higher
You could hear the fiddle cry.
It played "In the Pines",
and "Will the Circle be Unbroken",
"By n By Lord" by and by.

Well the car sat and burned
right down to the axles,
the radio continued to play.
You can wreck your car,
till it's just a pile of ashes,
but you can't kill Bluegrass,
No way!

Music end

Try using a timer on your radio..it is how we tape PHC each week. Got a smart stereo that can time, and tape in both directions. No more setting alarm to flip over the tape!
