Slop Rod Mopar

We wrote and recorded this song way back 2007. My brother Jeff355 is on Guitar and I'm playing the Banjo and "singing."
Give me a break I was pretty young.


My pappy said son you won't get to far
if you keep on driving that slop rod Mopar

Have you heard the story of the great pony car race
where Fords and Chevys were setting the pace
Well I wouldn't know I fell behind
'cause I was driving a Dodge 225

It's got a Plymouth Motor and it's real worn out
and that Challenger body I ain't thrilled about
It's got six cylinders, might use three
and the auto tranny jerks violently

It's got a one barrel carb and a rusty exhaust
2.76 gears the rig grows moss
It's got driver's side floor but I am scared
cause the brakes are shot and the tires are square

Pulling out of the junkyard late one night
the road lit up with one headlight
We was lugging up the grapevine hill
getting passed like we were standing still

All of a sudden in the wink of an eye
a Mustang and a Camaro passed us by
I pushed the pedal as far as it'd go
and she sputtered and coughed and just said no

The engine blew up and we rolled to a stop
The drive train gave out with a final plop
The suspension all snapped the body slammed down
The doors fell of and hit the ground

The tow truck driver was two hours late
and the service wasn't worth the wait
He said 'Why do you drive this piece of crap?'
I said I don't know and I sold it for scrap

They arrested me and threw me in the pokey
saying 'It's illegal to drive a car so hokey'
My pappy said son you won't get to far
if you keep on driving that slop rod Mopar
