lyrics

This big ol’ solid steering wheel, Has got me in command
Holding straight and true, You can drive with just one hand

Ain’t it true,
They don’t make em like they used to

It’s amazing how these hinges, Hold up this old car door
Probably weighs a hundred pounds, Maybe even more

It’s no wonder
They don’t make em like they used to

Do it right the first time
And it’ll last a lifetime of two
It’s the one thing you can count on
Through the hard times
To get you through
They don’t make em like they used to

When I was just a boy my Grandpa, Had a 6-string on the wall
When he took it down to play, In his hands it looked so small

Boy it’s true
They don’t make em like they used to

And I can still remember the old songs, That he used to play
But you can’t turn on the radio, And hear a song like that today

What a shame
They don’t make em like they used to

Now I’m playing his guitar, driving his old car
Down the same roads that he used to go
But now he’s gone away, and the gravel road’s been paved
And the songs all sound the same in a different tune
They don’t make em like they used to
