Lyrics One Piece at a Time - Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Two
Well
i
left
kentucky
back
in
forty-nine
Went
to
dtroit
and
got
a
job
on
the
assembly
line
The
first
year
they
had
me
putting
wheels
on
cadillacs
Everyday
i'd
watch
them
beauties
roll
by
And
sometimes
i'd
hang
my
head
and
cry
'Cause
i've
always
wanted
me
one
that
was
long
and
black
One
day
i
devised
myself
a
plan
That
should
be
the
envy
of
most
any
man

in
the
lunch
box
in
my
hand
Now
getting
caught
meant
getting

But

have
it
all
by
the

I'd
have
me
a

worth
at

You'll
know
it's

when
i
come
through
your
town
I'm
gonna
ride
around
in
style,
i'm
gonna
drive
everybody
wild
'Cause
i've
the
only
one
there
is
around
So
the
very
next
day
when
i
punched
in
With
my
lunch
box
and
the
help
from
a
friend
I
left
that
day
with
a
lunch
box
full
of
gears
I've
never
considered
myself
a
thief
But
g.m.
wouldn't
miss
just
one
little
piece
Especially
if
i
strung
it
out
over
several
years
Now
the
first
day
i
got
me
a
fuel
pump
The
next
day
i
got
