Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
G                       D
And went to Detroit workin' on a assembly line
G                              C
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs
G                      D
Every day I'd watch 'em sufferin' in the factory stacks

G                          C
Now, one day I advised my boss
G                               D
I said, "I got a little plan I think you ought to see"
G                          C
He said, "You better get to work, son, and forget about that"
G                          D
But I didn't want to listen to him, no, no, no

G                             C
I took one piece at a time
G                          D
And it didn't cost me a dime
G                             C
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
G                          D
I'm gonna ride around in style
G                           C
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
G                          D                 G
'Cause I'll have the only one there
