Roy Acuff - The Automobile Of Life Lyrics

THE AUTOMOBILE OF LIFE

SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE AN AUTOMOBILE THEY'LL RUN FINE WHEN EVERY THING IS RIGHT
WHEN THE ROADS ARE ALL CLEAR AND THE WEATHER IS FINE AND THERE'S PLEANTY OF SUNSHINE AND LIGHT
BUT OFTEN THEY COME TO A WASH OUT AND THEN GET STUCK AND HAVE TO DETURE
MABY A BREAK IN THE CASTING WILL PORVE THEY NEVER WERE BUILT TO ENDURE

CH
GET PLENTY OF WATER AND PLENTY OF OIL AND THE BEST GASOLINE YOU CAN FIND
HAVE THE ENGIN TUNED UP AND LOOK OUT FOR YOUR BREAKS YOU'LL HAVE SOME HARD PLACES TO CLIMB
LOOK OUT FOR THE TIRES FOR THE BLOWOUTS WILL COME ON A DANGERIOUS CURVE DEEP AND NIEGH
BUT IF YOU'LL LET JESUS TAKE HOLD OF THE WHEEL YOU'LL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN ON HIGH

SOME AUTO'S ARE PAINTED AND POLISHED SO BRIGHT THEY SELL FOR MORE THAN THEY ARE WORTH
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THEIR PROFESSION WILL DO STOP SHORT OF THE BIBLES NEW BIRTH
JUST START UP YOUR ENGEN AND THEN YOU CAN TELL IF THE THING IS HITTING ON SIX
FOR IF YOU DEPEND ON THE LOOKS OF THE CAR YOU'LL BE IN A TERABLE FIX

NOW ALL OUR PROFESSION'S OF POWDER AND PAINT THO LOVELY UPON THE OUTSIDE
WON'T ANSWER TO GOD FOR HE LOOKS ON THE HEART IT MATTERS NOT HOW HARD WE'VE TRIED
SO IF YOU ARE STUCK IN THE QUICKSAND OF SIN A WONDERING AND FLOWENDERING ABOUT
JUST LET GOD'S GREAT ENGEN OF GLORY AND GRACE WITH A CABLE OF LOVE PULL YOU OUT
