Standard (EADGBE)

Dashing through the snow

 In my rusty Chevrolet

Down the road I go

 Sliding all the way

I need new piston rings

 I need some new snow tires

 My car is held together

 By a piece of chicken wire

Chorus

Oh, rust and smoke

The heater's broke

The door just blew away

I light a match to see the dash

And then I start to pray...

The frame is bent

The muffler went

The radio's okay

Oh, what fun it is to drive

 This rusty Chevrolet

Verse 2

I went to IGA

 To get some Christmas cheer

I just patched up my left front tire

 And it's gettin' hard to steer

Skidding down the highway

 Right past the county cops

 I have to drag my swampers

 To get the car to stop

Verse 3

Bouncing through the snow drifts

 In a big, blue cloud of smoke

 People laugh as I drive by

 I wonder what's the joke

I have to get to Wal-Mart

 To pick up my layaway

 'Cause Santa's comin' soon

 In his big, old, rusty sleigh
