She loves me for my car, my guitar and my bar. That's how this song came about. I could never find a way to finish this goofy one until Matt whipped it into shape with a very nice, rubber meets the road, rip roaring guitar solo.
lyrics
I got a woman - A cute and pretty thing
Who loves to hear people strumming guitar.
She’s got an ego - She’s got flowers too
She knows where it’s at she reads the National Inquire.
Well I’ve learned to accept, the way she are - Cause she loves me for my car.
I have a limo - a Mazerati too
But wouldn’t you know it there both in the shop.
I drive an old Ford – with a 352
Clocked at 100 by the local cops
Well I’ve learned to accept, the way they are - Cause they love me for my car.
I got all kinds of people waving - and others turning their heads
A honking and raving - but I can’t hear a word they said.
Well I have to accept, the way they are - Cause they love me for my car.
I got an air conditioned body – and a stick shift on the floor
Got a back seat for the ladies – and a chauffeur for the door.
We go cruising through the country – and to the A&W
All the old folks think I’m crazy – and you know that might be true.
But I’ve learned to accept the way they are - Cause they love me for my car.
I had a woman – a cute and pretty thing
Who used to love me for my car.
She found a new love – with a new car too.
You see mine sits smashed at the junkyard.
