DEUCE AND A QUARTER
Album : All The King's Men
Scotty Moore/DJ Fontana (featuring Keith Richards)


VERSE:
(Levon Helm)
Buy a bottle get to feeling good
World's lookin' like you think it should
Happy hour, Honey everyone's your friend
Closing time shut her down again
Up in the morning and your facing town
Walk the same streets up and down.
A fire burning in your worn out shoes
Every day you got something to prove.

BREAK:

A curb feelers and fender skirts
Scrub the chrome 'till your elbow hurts
A pinstripes and cherry packs
grass stains on your second hand slacks.
Keep on bettin' think you gonna win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
a car's a car and that's a fact
A deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac.

INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE:
(Richards)
Uncle Johnny has a country act
His headache is a heart attack
Honey bring me down a couple more pills
Call the lawyer up and change my will.

BREAK:

Ham sandwich and a glass of tea
Lunch is cheap but never free
Shaking hands and scratching backs
Grease stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on bettin think you're gonna win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car and thats a fact
A deuce and a quarter ain't a cadillac.

INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE:
(Helm)
Got a date gotta dress with care
Wash the gray right outa my hair.

(Richards)
Clean the car and when I'm through
Wax it up till it looks brand new.

BREAK:
(Both)
A curb feelers and a fender skirt
Scrub the chrome 'till your elbows hurt.

(Helm)
Pinstripes and cherry packs

(Richards)
Keep on bettin' think your gonna win
You can dress it up and try to pretend.

(Both)
A car's a car, and that's a fact
but a Deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac.
