    Em                      G                            D                         C
A 1000 dollar car it ain't worth nothin, a 1000 dollar car it ain't worth shit.
 Em                               G                 D                 C
Might as well take your 1000 dollars and set fire to it.

A 1000 dollar car ain't worth a dime, ya lose your 1000 dollars every time.
      Em       G        D                          Em
Oh why did I ever buy, a 1000 dollar car.

Verse 2

A 1000 dollar car is gonna let you down,
More than it's ever gonna get you around.
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust,
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust.
A 1000 dollar car its life was through,
'Bout 50,000 miles before it got to you.
Oh why did I ever buy A 1000 dollar car.

Bridge

 Am                      D                     G                  G/F#               C
A 1000 dollar car ain't gonna roll, until you put at least another 1000 in the hole.
Am                                   D                                   C                       D
Sink your money in it, and there you are, the owner of a 2000 dollar 1000 dollar car.

Verse 3

If you only got a 1000 dollars, you might as well buy a good guitar.
Learn how to play it'll get you farther than any old 1000 dollar car
If a 1000 dollar car was to be worth a damn, then why would anybody ever spend ten grand.
Oh why did I ever buy a 1000 dollar car.

If kerosene works why not gasoline

Kids wore rags, he never worked to much
Who's the judge to decide how much this world can punish
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

Now the welfare check won't pay for the electricity
Wonder who the jury was decided they were all guilty
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

Fire started about 3 am ya know none of them would survive
They hated that god damn trailer so it burnt 'em up alive
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

It's a pure perfect world that tells no lies
Burn ya down if you try to improvise
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
