Double U Three (Feuling W3)

(SOUND TRACK)

(PHOTOS)

If I’m alive at all
Ain’t gonna drive no barge
Got a new steed installed
So go check out the garage

And as you lift  the door
Stop and savor what you see
Chromed steel, two wheels and a more
It’s a bike called Double U Three

(refrain)
  • And if good looks can kill
  • Better bet you’re in my will
  • If its highway leads to hell
  • Then what a way to go 
  • And its got one-fifty steeds
  • Way more than I really need
  • But hey this kind of overkill
  • Is de rigeur, ya know?
More motor ‘s lurkin’ there
Than any ‘cono car
Pretty girls all stop and stare
Cos it kinda sounds like war

Too big to start with kick
Thumb’s just the only way
Young dudes they all call it sick
Was “trick” back in the day

(refrain)
  • And if good looks can kill
  • Doan fret  you’re in my will
  • If its highway leads to hell
  • Then what a way to go 
  • And its one-fifty steeds
  • Way more than I really need
  • But hey this kind of overkill
  • Is de rigeur, ya know?
And there’s a space on back
For your sweet pretty …well
Sure ain't no mommy track
On the highway straight to hell

We’ll weave from dusk to dark
And cross those yellow lines
Hear those loud tri-pipes bark
And forget about stop signs

(refrain)
  • And if good looks can kill
  • Better bet  you’re in my will
  • If its highway leads to hell
  • Then what a way to go

Steam 'N' Steel

Dm7                       Dm7
I was born - age of steam and steel
F                             Bb                G (C)
Big locos had eight pair driving wheels
Dm7                       Dm7              
And they ran  sweet Kentucky coal
F                             Bb                Eb)                      
Shovel hard - faster you would roll
---------------------------

Flew left seat -Connie Super G
Yup, PIC – in 1953
Had four props, she’d fly good on three
High and safe over angry seas
---------------------------

Motorcy-Cle I called Black Bart
Built it up -- Hawg and Vincent parts
Monster mill - real hard to  kickstart
Not for weak Nor the faint of heart
---------------------------

And so now A new century
But I like the way things used to be
There was lead in gasoline
Rockets fueled by Hydrazine
---------------------------

No paddle shifts Just three on the tree
No cell nor text just dial rotary
Took pics on film that you would buy
No Photoshop to make them all lie.


REFRAIN
                Ab                Bb       C  
This is my anthem to ancient  gears          
                F                   Em        A
Lots of years blood sweat and tears
                  Bb        C
Cos the faster you go
                  G       
The more time slows
               A7      Dm7
Hey, Einstein said so

COE

Now Big Henry had a factory
‘Longside River Rouge
Pumpin’ out trucks, strictly Country
As the red, white and blue

And my Uncle was a trucker
Workin’ here and there and far
One day cruised to a dealer
Cos he also needed car

But while slammin' doors around back
He stopped, looked up to see
An instant love attack --
A Big Henry COE

Now Unkie and his new rig
Became like a man and wife
Hauling loads both small and real big
Til the end of his long life.

So when his time was over
COE went out to seed
In a field of four-leaf clover
And Northern prairie weed

And it waited on them great plains
For its new time in the sun
Through years of snow and spring rains
For a man to make it run

Now Henry COE ‘s mine
And got some plans in store
Gonna drop in big round engine
From planes of Second War

And I’ll do my own flying
Just closer to the ground
All perty girls be sighing
When they hear its monster sound

In that big COE you ride
Far above door slammer fray
And you can see all country wide
With nothin in your way

And when my time is over
COE will still run strong
No more fields of clover
But a big safe dark dry barn

So now this tale is  over
One secret I confess
What does COE stand for
Leave that for you to guess

(REFRAIN)

My baby’s calling me
Climb in my COE
Highball cross county line
Make her place, in record time

I want her riding ‘gun
She is the only one
Dig more than my sweet ride
If she’s good, might let her drive...
