Dear dad, don't get mad, what I'm asking for
Is by the next semester, can I get another car?
And this one here is sickenin' on a wide dual road
I might as well be walking as to drive this old Ford
Almost every time I try to go and pass a truck
If it ain't going downhill, dad, I'm out of luck
And even if I get by, it's still a rugged risk
The way this old Ford keeps a hitting and a miss
ย
Last week when I was driving on my way to school
I almost got a ticket 'bout a freeway traffic rule
It's now a violation driving under 45
If I push up to 50, this here Ford will nosedive
Dad, I'm in great danger out here tryin' to drive
The way this Ford wiggles when I'm approaching 45
I have to nurse it along like a little stubborn pup
And cars whizzing by me, dad, looks like I'm backing up
ย
She just don't have the appetite for gas somehow
And dad, I got four carburetors hooked up on it now
I tried to hook another to see if it'd do a little good
But ain't no place to put it unless I perforate the hood
So dad, send the money, see what I can see
Try to find a Cadillac, a 62 or '3
Just something that won't worry us to keep it on the road
Sincerely, your beloved son, Henry Junior Ford
