So here's a car "buying" song, though the lyrics really read more like a poem, and it works either way.
Background: someone switched our showroom music over to SiriusXM's The Highway and now I'm being subjected to hearing the same pop country songs over and over again day in and day out. I really don't like pop country... but some other country music is okay. And while listening to my iPod in my office I came across this one, which I've always liked.
"She's a beaut, yes sir she is," said Easy Dan
Fifty-five, a bad age, smelling of Brut from Faberge and sweat
Easy Dan don't bathe a lot these days, and why the hell should he anyway?
"She's got a few miles on her, but then again, who don't?" he said with a slight chuckle, the recent Binaca blast still lingering on his breath
And besides, them's highway miles!
I shifted my weight from one foot to the other
It certainly wasn't the car of my dreams, but the price was right and Easy Dan assured me the mid 70's were a particularly nice period for Chrysler products, in general
And this one was a Volare!
And besides, finally having an eight-track means I can play all them tapes I ain't been able to listen to since high school
So we stuffed Easy Dan's body in the trunk and hauled ass out of town
But somewhere just past the middle of nowhere the fuel pump blew, and the oil pump too, and the piston rods hurled straight through the engine block
Dropping oil, gasoline, water, and anti-freeze onto the Alabama red clay below
Ain't that a bitch?
I ain't never been lucky with love

One of their members has went solo, and he kicks ass.
One of my favorite Drive-By Truckers songs:
