Lyrics

A Used One (Down A Road Or Two) Words and Music by Bruce Garnitz

Verse:
The Gibson seemed to speak to me
As I gazed through store front glass
It?s hardware trim sparklin? gold
It?s smooth body sculpted ash
But no money, no dough
Got my hopes sinkin? low
Like Florsheims in wet sand
I pray an angel pry it from it?s perch
And put it in my hands

Chorus:
I?m gonna get a used one
It don?t need to be so new
One that?s got some mileage on it
Been down a road or two
(fits my grip just fine)

Verse:
I?d never even kissed a girl
But I knew what turned me on
Snuck a peek in each new Playboy magazine
The ?Vargas Girl? just rang my gong
She looked so damn alluring
As hormones began to rage
Sadly, she always kept her distance
Behind the glossy page

Chorus:
So I got myself a real one
She was older?I didn?t have a clue
She seemed to have some mileage on her
Been down a road or two

Bridge:
Anybody who?s worth anything
Gonna wear out some tires along the way
And burn up a clutch when the mountain?s too much
And ?improvise? is the word of the day

Solo

I seem to be consistent
As I travel through this life
A car, a house, You?d be surprised
Just how I picked my wife

Chorus:
I seem to like the used ones
They don?t have to be so new
Gimme somethin? that?s got some mileage on it
Been down a road or two
(Suits me just fine)
Been Down a road or two
(Or three or four)
Been down a road or two
That's right...
