Okay this is my new favorite song from chris. I am a new fan here and just heard about him last week and this song just cinched it for me... Salty Whiskey drawl voices like this are hard to come by these days.... I think he is about my age and his lyrics I can relate too. This guy would be excellent to do a soundtrack for the new FX tv show "Justified"
Everytiime i listen to this sond and see the cars in this video my heart gets broken, i own a 1987 camaro rs but i put a 383 sbc in it and i hope to get it painted soon, i just hope it never ends up like the ones in this video.
@mengle2004 Everyone I ever owned, excpet the one I'm driving now Been stripped down to the bare bone and sent outta town There's a Mustang and a GTO, bloody seats, and caved in grill There's a scar on my forehead, for every busted windshield My old cars, they haunt me still Cuase I droven every one of 'em over the edge It's a wonder I wasn't killed My old cars, rise up from the wheel I wish to hell and back was far enough to outrun, your memory
@mengle2004 I drive by that junkyard, count the times you broke my heart Watchin' Jack play with a socket wrench Drinkin' beer and yankin' parts I can count these broken bones, cause broken bone will heal But I can't stand to count the times you said I love you, aint no big deal My old cars, they haunt me still Cuase I droven every one of 'em over the edge It's a wonder I wasn't killed
Last week I bought a 442, black as ace of spades I sold my half of grandpa's land, bes he's rollin' is his grave My friends say I'll get over you, but my friends they just dont know Gonna take her out on a 41, see how fast she can go My old cars, they haunt me still Cuase I droven every one of 'em over the edge It's a wonder I wasn't killed My old cars, rise up from the wheel I wish to hell and back was far enough to outrun, your memory
Great video! I am a HUGE fan of CK and this song gets me because right now I'm 24 and I own a 2005 GTO and I just KNOW one day I'm gonna think of that car and start singing this song. Probably around the time my hair starts going and me heart gets broken for the 100th time. God bless and I'm glad to see other CK fans on the internet. Music is my fire for life and Chris' albums have saved my life. I got to tell him that in person too!
Chris Knight rules. I have been a Tom Petty lover for decades, but Chris Knight.... man, he's GREAT! XOXOXO

@rmstudio Yeah, I'm from eastern ky where justifed is set and Chris is pretty big there. Songs like down the river would really fit the show.

Seriously, why are the lyrics to this song unfindable?
TedMechanic 2 years ago
I don't know. If you search all you can find are sites that say they have lyrics but only sale ringtones. Whats up with that.

@soxy709 Close.... it's "watch a jackleg with a socket wrench" Jackleg is a working man's term for someone who isn't good for much of anything.

Easily my favourite Chris Knight song from his new album "Heart of Stone". All the songs are superb to be honest, but this song has something...
