Jerry

Flashback to August 1974. Buick Electra. Saskatchewan highway. Chain-smoking parents. Flatulent poodle. 98 degrees outside and inside. Grasshoppers bluff charging even at 80mph. And on the eight-track, just after "I Got Me Some Kind of a Woman" (WHAT KIND? we all wanted to know)--Jerry Reed singing "Lord Mister Ford." From the album "Jerry Reed: Live, Still."

Yeah, not so much as of today.

Well if the Lord that made the moon and stars
Would have meant for me and you to have cars
He'd have seen that we was all born
With a parking space.
