ONE PIECE AT A TIME Recorded by Johnny Cash Written by W. Kemp Recorded by Johnny Cash on 3/5/76 Number one - County Chart; Number 29 - Pop Chart
[F] Well, I left Kentucky back in '49 An' [Bb] went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line The C] first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadil- [F] lacs Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by And [Bb] sometimes I'd hang my head and cry 'Cause I [C] always wanted me one that was long and [F] 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.
CHORUS [F] I'd get it one piece at a time And it [Bb] wouldn't cost me a dime You'll [C] know it's me when I come through your [F] town I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna [Bb] drive ever'body wild 'Cause I'll [C] have the only one there is a-[F] round.
