Lyrics
Grandpa was the first one they hired, back in 26
Now I'm 3rd generation union, workin' that second shift
All I've ever known is workin on this line
And when I clock out tonight It'll be for the very last time
Chorus
Who could of ever seen this
What are the chances of that
Grandpa rolled out the first one
And I'm rollin' out the last Pontiac
What are the chances of that
The first muscle car was a GTO and Dad will tell you that's a fact
When Burt Reynolds drove that Trans Am he really put us on the map
It's a way of life for us and we thought it'd never end
And it's not just our living, it's our family and it's our friends
Chorus
Who could of ever seen this
What are the chances of that
Grandpa rolled out the first one
And I'm rollin' out the last Pontiac
What are the chances of that
So we'll roll up our sleeves like strong families do
I got a lead on a job and I sure hope it comes through
Working a rig in Texas a thousand miles away
Pumping oil for the cars I made yesterday
Chorus
Who could of ever seen this
What are the chances of that
Grandpa rolled out the first one
And I'm rollin' out the last Pontiac
What are the chances of that
