Lyrics
______________________________________________________________________

(GUITAR INTRO)

well, please please respond, I'll take offers from y'all

and I'm bound to get my money back some day

lookin' for a bargain, you just call, take you a little or take it all

but it's good that I don't keep records anyway

 

don't go looking for anything new, find ya a used one that will do

things get better after several years of age

don't you never buy new and pay on time, when you can get a used one for a dime

well a book's no good, if someone turned the page

 

kick it on the tire, now brother, slap it on the hood

wouldn't tell you nothin' if it weren't no good

look him in the teeth, now brother, look him in the eye

I guarantee that he'll never die

and it's your good luck to know an old horse trader like me

(ELECTRIC GUITAR SLIDE SOLO)

 

don't go lookin' for anyone new, someone used will surely do

someone faded from a lonely trip for two

someone ripped me in the past, someone driven' hard and fast

it's your choice now baby, don't leave for someone new

don't you do it

 

kick it on the tire, now brother, slap it on the hood

wouldn't tell you nothin' if it weren't no good

look him in the teeth, now brother, look him in the eye

I guarantee that he'll never die

and it's your good luck to know an old horse trader like me

yes, it's your good luck to know an old horse trader like me

yes it is,

don't you know it is?

yes, it is
