Primer Gray

I pulled the engine with a block and chain
 Got the oil pump in just before the rain
 In the gravel drive, it's a Pontiac
 Come the weekend you'll find me at the track
 It's a '74, Dad bought it new
 Still mostly stock and it's rusted through
 I only worry 'bout what's underneath
 What she looks like don't mean a damn to me
 'Cause you don't need that flash and shine
 You just need to be hard off the line
 So keep your lacquer chrome and flames
 I'll paint mine primer gray
 Some men are rich, and they'll let you know
 Some guys act tough, it's all a show
 I know the things men hold inside
 We're all about the same when you turn out the lights
 'Cause you don't need that flash and shine
 You just need to be hard off the line
 So keep your lacquer chrome and flames
 I'll paint mine primer gray
 Dad was pretty fast back in the day
 "Bring that trophy home now," Mama used to say
 They sit there on the shelf gathering dust
 Luck turns to loss, chrome to rust
 ♪
 I've got that car detailed and tuned
 My boy's 16, he'll be driving soon
 But he won't drive that old '74
 Kids today, they all want something more
 But you don't need that flash and shine
 You just need to be hard off the line
 So keep your lacquer chrome and flames
 I'll paint mine primer gray
 It's what you do, not what you say
 I'll paint mine primer gray
