Bell
Buy a bottle, get to feeling good
The world's looking like you think it should
A happy hour, honey, everyone's your friend
Closing time, shut her down again
Up in the morning and you're facing town
Walk the same streets up and down
A fire burning in your worn out shoes
Every day you've got something to prove
A curb feelers and fender skirts
Scrub the chrome till your elbow hurts
A pinstripes and cherry packs
Grass stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on betting, think you're going to win
And you can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car and that's a fact
A deuce and a quarter ain't no Cadillac
Uncle Johnny has a country act
His headache is a heart attack
Honey bring me down a couple more pills
Call the lawyer up and change my will
A ham sandwich and a glass of tea
Lunch is cheap but never free
Shaking hands and scratching backs
Grease stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on betting, think you're going to win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car and that's a fact
A deuce and a quarter ain't a Cadillac
Got a date, got to dress with care
Wash the grey right out of my hair
Clean the car and when I'm through
Wax it up till it looks brand new
A curb feelers and a fender skirts
Scrub the chrome till your elbow hurts
A pinstripes and cherry packs
Grass stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on betting, think you're going to win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car and that's a fact
But a deuce and a quarter ain't no Cadillac
A car's a car and that's a fact
A deuce and a quarter ain't no Cadillac
