Lyrics One Piece at a Time - Johnny Cash
Well,
I
left
Kentucky
back
in
'49
An'
went
to
Detroit
workin'
on
a
'sembly
line
The
first
year
they
had
me
puttin'
wheels
on
Cadillacs
Every
day
I'd
watch
them
beauties
roll
by
And
sometimes
I'd
hang
my
head
and
cry
'Cause
I
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
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
I'd
get
it
one
piece
at
a
time
And
it
wouldn't
cost
me
a
dime
You'll
know
it's
me
when
I
come
through
your
town
I'm
gonna
ride
around
in
style
I'm
gonna
drive
everybody
wild
'Cause
I'll
have
the
only
one
there
is
around
So
the
very
next
day
when
I
punched
in
With
my
big
lunchbox
and
with
help
from
my
friends
I
left
that
day
with
a
lunch
box
full
of
gears
I've
never
considered
myself
a
thief
But
GM
wouldn't
miss
just
one
little
piece
Especially
if
I
strung
it
out
over
several
years
The
first
day
I
got
me
a
fuel
pump
And
the
next
day
I
got
me
an
engine
and
a
trunk
Then
I
got
me
a
transmission
and
all
the
chrome
The
little
things
I
could
get
in
my
big
lunchbox
Like
nuts,
an'
bolts,
and
all
four
shocks
But
the
big
stuff
we
snuck
out
in
my
buddy's
mobile
home
Now,
up
to
now
my
plan
went
all
right
'Til
we
tried
to
put
it
all
together
one
night
And
that's
when
we
noticed
that
something
was
definitely
wrong
The
transmission
was
a
'53
And
the
motor
turned
out
to
be
a
'73
And
when
we
tried
to
put
in
the
bolts
all
the
holes
were
gone
So
we
drilled
it
out
so
that
it
would
fit
And
with
a
little
bit
of
help
with
an
adapter
kit
We
had
that
engine
runnin'
just
like
a
song
Now
the
headlight'
was
another
sight
We
had
two
on
the
left
and
one
on
the
right
But
when
we
pulled
out
the
switch
all
three
of
'em
come
on
The
back
end
looked
kinda
funny
too
But
we
put
it
together
and
when
we
got
through
Well,
that's
when
we
noticed
that
we
only
had
one
tail-fin
About
that
time
my
wife
walked
out
And
I
could
see
in
her
eyes
that
she
had
her
doubts
But
she
opened
the
door
and
said,
"Honey,
take
me
for
a
spin"
So
we
drove
up
town
just
to
get
the
tags
And
I
headed
her
right
on
down
main
drag
I
could
hear
everybody
laughin'
for
blocks
around
But
up
there
at
the
courthouse
they
didn't
laugh
'Cause
to
type
it
up
it
took
the
whole
staff
And
when
they
got
through
the
title
weighed
60
pounds
I
got
it
one
piece
at
a
time
And
it
didn't
cost
me
a
dime
You'll
know
it's
me
when
I
come
through
your
town
I'm
gonna
ride
around
in
style
I'm
gonna
drive
everybody
wild
'Cause
I'll
have
the
only
one
there
is
around
Ugh!
Yeah,
Red
Ryder
This
is
the
Cotton
Mouth
In
the
Psycho
Billy
Cadillac
come
on
Huh,
This
is
the
Cotton
Mouth
And
negatory
on
the
cost
of
this
mow-chine
there
Red
Ryder
You
might
say
I
went
right
up
to
the
factory
And
picked
it
up,
it's
cheaper
that
way
Ugh!,
what
model
is
it?
Well,
It's
a
'49,
'50,
'51,
'52,
'53,
'54,
'55,
'56,'57,
'58'
59'
