Drive-by Truckers The Tough Sell Lyrics

The Tough Sell Lyrics

“She's a beaute, yes sir she is? said EZ DAN, fifty five, a bad age,



smelling of Brute from Fabrege' and sweat



EZ 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 EZ DAN assured me the mid 70's were a particularly nice period



for Chrysler products in general



“and this one is 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 EZ 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 threw 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
