"It's seen alot of tan legs Got a kick ass radio Heard alot of singing along with some country songs, and rock and roll Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad Alot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photo graphs." He said "If I don't come back You can have this Ford Just tape a picture of me, on the Dashboard." He said "The paint is peeling off It's got dents in both the doors If something happens to me don't hang a for-sale sign above the Dashboard."
