Junkyard Angel - GDG Olds Hub-cap

Built this git with plans to gift it – if my friend with an old Olds wants it. Turned out pretty good – plays easy. Tom Bingham gave me the idea for the song and song title.

Junkyard Angel

I was [G] seventeen when I [C] bought that Oldsmo-[G]bile.
Bought it at a junk yard, [C] ohh what a [G] deal.
It had a [D]big V-[C]8, and that [C]big V- [C] made those tires squeal.

I had a part time job and it was all I could afford.
Drove it like a fool and always had it floored.
It was my junk yard Olds, my junk yard Olds, oh good Lord!

Second week I had it; blew out a tire.
Met a junk yard girl and my heart caught fire.
She was a junk yard angel, a junk yard angel, she was so fine.

I was in high school and she was a college girl
I didn’t have a chance but I gave it a whirl.
She was a junk yard angel, a junk yard angel, I wanted her.

She looked out of place - workin’ the junk yard.
But her daddy owned the place and it was a summer job.
She was a junk yard angel, a junk yard angel, she was so fine.

She shot me down fast, I never had a chance.
Too young and poor for that romance.
She was a junkyard angel, a junk yard angel,
I wish she was mine.

Comment by Uncle John on February 15, 2012 at 9:33pm: Thanks, Vinyl. Like the song, like the git. Don't like the singing on this one.

Comment by Vinylhed on February 15, 2012 at 6:17pm: Once again you've knocked it for six (hit a home run). You're like a blues machine, churning out perfectly formed songs time and again. Respect is due.
