Junk Cars Lyrics by Ricky Van Shelton

NASCAR: Runnin’ Wide Open

1995

[Verse 1]
Johnny's got a love, one love in his life
It wasn't his girlfriend, it isn't his wife
He loves Jesus, and he knows it ain't sin
The only thing that Johnny's interested in
[Chorus]
Is junk cars
He's getting all of mine
Junk cars
He's working all the time
Up on the blocks for the world to see
Commiserating at how shot they'll be
Junk cars
His little Mustang's hot
Yessir, but it runs at night
And Johnny likes living
But Johnny just loves junk cars
[Verse 2]
He's got a '69 Plymouth that he's crazy about
Three red Hondas and he's parting 'em out
Grease on the dishes and grease on the plants
Grease on the pockets of some dead pants
[Chorus]
Junk cars
Can't get them off his mind
Junk cars
He's with them all the time
Up on blocks for the world to see
You buy them new and someday they'll be
Junk cars
His little Mustang's hot
Yessir, but it runs at night
And Johnny likes living
But Johnny just loves junk cars
[Verse 3]
He's got a [?] condo and a mobile home
Leaves Car and Driver in the bathroom alone
Made a coffee table out of dead DieHards
A hubcap birdbath lining his yard
[Chorus]
Junk cars
Can't get them off of his mind
Junk cars
He's with them all the time
Up on the blocks for the world to see
Commiserating at how shot they'll be
Junk cars
His little Mustang's hot
Yessir, but it runs at night
And Johnny likes living
But Johnny just loves junk cars
They ain't junk to him
[Outro]
Yeah, this is Johnny
"What do you mean, when am I gonna haul them off?
I just hauled them in here!
I'll tell you right now
One man's junk is another man's treasure!
Also, it ain't junk
But do you know how much a headlight costs on a car like that?
Or that rim wheel...on that wheel like that?
Gonna have to go to my dead grandma for a headlight
If you buy one from the junkyard, who breaks the stuff?
Hmm?
And that cat runs, it runs
It runs
Not junk
I got a half one and I got a full one
I got a Chevy and I got Studebaker and I got a
I got a headlight and I got three axles and I got two feet of"
