Ups & Downs
Cat and Dog Dialogue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I got a big old bomb and it won't be around for long,
Well, I got a big old bomb and it won't be around for long,
Well, it's a big old bomb but it gets me where I'm goin'

I got a thirty nine Ford, this only just won't die,
But I got a thirty nine Ford, this old heap just won't die,
Well, this thirty nine Ford might outlive you and I
Having a beer and listening to the radio
Having a beer and listening to the radio
It's got a worn back seat and a steamed up rear window

I got a big old bomb and it won't be around for long
Well, I got a big old bomb and it won't be around for long,
Well, it's a big old bomb but it gets me where I'm goin'

Well, Rev it up and go
Rev it up and go
Rev it up and go go go
Rev it up and go
Rev it up and go
Rev it up and go
Rev it up and go go go
Rev it up and go





I got a big old bomb and it gets me where I want to go
