Bobby Bare Lyrics for Song: Yard Full of Rusty Cars
 Lyrics for Album: Bare [Columbia] [1978]
 
 
 
 1784>(Shel Silverstein)
 
 
 
 Show me a house with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 And you'll know there'll be a coffee perkin' on a rusty stove
 
 And you walk right in and sit down and feel right at home
 
 In the kitchen of the house of man with a yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 Show me a man with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 And you know he's got a fridge full of beer and it's nice and cold
 
 Swing on the porch eatin' bolony and bread and talk about gettin' old
 
 Spittin' in the dust with the man with a yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 Scratchin' the ears of the dog of the man with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 Tell him I've been to Haiti and he says well that's real nice
 
 Hey Ma, this beer could sure use a little bit of ice
 
 Now what was you saying about goin' to Hatey's
 
 Says the man with a yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 My teeth gone bad says the man with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 Toilets on the blink and heavy weights today can't hit
 
 You know you remind me a lot of my brother's youngest kid
 
 Got killed in Korea
 
 You play gin rummy says the man with the yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 Kick off your shoes on the couch with the man with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 Smoke us smokes and flick the ashes on the floor
 
 Well son everythin' here been burned or broke at least once before
 
 And he winks at his old lady and she winks back
 
 At the man with a yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 Lord, said the man with the rusty cars that woman's gettin' wide
 
 So much for beauty son hand me that TV guide
 
 Watchin' the flies in the kitchen of the man with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 Hole in the screen door where the dogs crawl in and out
 
 Careful of that soup son it'll burn a hole in your mouth
 
 Soup and life you gotta wait 'em out says the man with a yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 Watch TV in the parlour of the man with a yard full of rusty cars
 
 Son you ever get to sleep with any of them movie stars
 
 I'd like to do that once before I die but he's talkin' a little too loud
 
 And his woman is smilin' kind of proud at the man with a yard full of rusty cars.
 
 
 
 Talkin' God and baseball with the man with the yard full of rusty cars
 
 Fall asleep right on the couch there where you see it
 
 And you know that his old woman ain't gonna mind a bit
 
 Least wise she don't mention nothin' to that smilin' smokin' dirty jokin'
 
 Lucky old man with the yard full of rusty cars...
