Turning wrenches on a Chevrolet
He said, "Why in the world would you ever pay
For something you can do on a Saturday yourself?"
He bust his knuckles on a bucket of
Rust that he still called a truck
Had a coffee cup full of lug nuts on the shelf
Oh, and one by one, his Marlboros would burn
One by one, another lesson got learned
A handshake's as good as ink
You find the one, you buy a ring
You don't have to sing to sing in the choir
It ain't a problem if money can fix it
Shut your mouth and do some listening
There's only so many good years on your tires
Oh, now looks will fade, children play, Jesus saves
And always buy American made
We shut the hood and dropped her down
Grabbed the keys and drove to town
Wasn't long before we found a bar
Oh, and one by one, like we were running out of time
He told me the secret to life
A handshake's as good as ink
You find the one, you buy a ring
You don't have to sing to sing in the choir
It ain't a problem if money can fix it
Shut your mouth and do some listening
There's only so many good years on your tires
Oh, now looks will fade, children play, Jesus saves
And always buy American made
American made
Oh, and one by one, I miss him every day
One by one, I can still hear him say
A handshake's as good as ink
You find the one, you buy a ring
You don't have to sing to sing in the choir
It ain't a problem if money can fix it
Shut your mouth and do some listening
There's only so many good years on your tires
Oh, now looks will fade, children play, and Jesus saves
And always buy American made
American made
American made
