[F]I almost got a ticket
[F]'Bout a freeway traffic rule

[F]Driving under forty-five
[C]And if I push to fifty
[G]This here Ford will nosedive
[Verse 4]
[C]Dad, I'm in great danger
[C]Out here trying to drive
[F]This Ford wiggles
[F]When I'm approaching forty-five
[C]I have to nurse it along
[F]Like a little suffering pup
[C]And cars whizzing by me
[G]Dad, look like I'm backing up
[Bridge 2]

[Verse 5]
[C]She just don't have the appetite
[C]For gas somehow
[F]And Dad, I got both carburetors
[F]Hooked up on it now
[C]I tried to hook another
[F]To see if I'd do a little good
[C]But ain't no place to put it
[Eb]'Less I perforate the hood
[Verse 6]
[C]So Dad, send the money
[C]See what I can see
[F]Try to find a Cadillac
[F]Sixty-two or three
[C]Just something that won't worry us
[F]To keep it on the road
[C]Sincerely, your loving son
