lirik lagu johnny bond - gears

his is the way that it was
just as far back as i can remember, i was always hangin’ around a drafty ol’ garage
gettin’ grease on my hands and feet
smellin’ the exhaust and watchin’ my dad and brothers tear down an old truck or model t
pickin’ up a wore~out fanbelt or some other kinda souvenirs
only one thing on my mind
man, i was dyin’ to dig into them gears

so, when i was old enough to get my driver’s license and permit
i chucked it all, quit the eleventh grade, went into debt to get my first rig
skipped town several hundred bucks in arrеars
headed down the opеn highway
eatin’ that concrete comin’ my way
brother, i had it made
at long last, i was jammin’ gears

i got to know all the spots along the way, and they got to know me
i courted the waitresses and the cashiers
i had a line that wouldn’t quit
i was king of the highway, a self~admitted heartbreaker on wheels
they treated me to the coffee, and i treated them to the beers
them gals couldn’t figure out what went on inside my head
how could they, when you and i know there ain’t nothin’ in this ol’ noggin ‘cept maybe some gears

finally set my sights on a pretty little thing south of ardmore
every time i pulled away from her place, i had to face a whole passel of her tears
so i says, hon’, if you don’t like my leavin’
then you just pack your little ol’ bag and jump on board
ain’t n0body gonna stop you if you wanna flag my rig
watch ol’ daddy make her swing
and, for some pretty music, just listen to the hummin’ of my gears
well, i ditched her down in brownsville
told her my run’d bring me back in a week or two
man, i was fed up, clean to my ears
“love ’em and leave ’em” was my motto
i had tracks to make, so i flew the coop
turned ol’ jenny around and headed north
this time, i mean to tell you, i was really pushin’ them gears

latched onto another up in kokomo
this looked like the real thing, so i popped the question quick
that’s what you gotta do whenever ol’ dan cupid appears
we tied the knot and rented a place up the road
she didn’t seem to mind my leavin’ near as much as i did
i just made sure that none of my runs took me near brownsville
’cause that’n down there could surely recognize the sound of my gears

well, you know that ol’ sayin’
that bad nickel always reappears
next night when i got home, there was brownsville sittin’ across from my wife
the wife was cryin’, the other not sayin’ nothin’
nothin’ now, that is
and don’t you know, she had said plenty already
what with all the lies she had piled up on top of the truth
she just sat there, silent~like
her face all covered with smears
i couldn’t say nothin’ either, ’cause inside my head somethin’ had already started spinnin’
they was roarin’, and they was grindin’, and all of a sudden i was at the wheel
we was in a blizzard and a sandstorm at the same time
we was headed down bakers ridge wide open, and the brakes was gone
the h~rns and the sirens was blastin’ my head off
the hood flew off, and the motor opened up right in my face
i was divin’ headfirst, right straight into them
whirlin’, grindin’, spinnin’, greasy gears

well, that’s all of my story, mister reporter
just tell ’em i’m real sorry for what i done
think it’ll come out in the papers ‘fore that ol’ warden appears?
if it’s worth anything to ya, just give it to my widow
don’t know where she is
just check the truck stops ‘tween here and kokomo
that’ll be her, sittin’ there over a couple of beers
and that guy that’s buyin’ ’em
i’ll lay you a million to one, he ain’t nothin’ but a crazy mixed~up dropout
that run away from home
to make his fortune eatin’ concrete
and jammin’ them gol~dang greasy gears
