Automobile of Life

Automobile Of Life - Roy Acuff

Some people are just like an automobile

They'll run fine when every thing is right

When the roads are all clear

And the weather is fine

And there's pleanty of sunshine and light

But often they come to a wash out

And then get stuck and have to deture

And maby a break in the casting will porve

They never were built to endure

Get plenty of water and plenty of oil

And the best gasoline you can find

Have the engin tuned up

And look out for your breaks

You'll have some hard places to climb

Look out for the tires for the blowouts will come on

A dangerious curve deep and niegh

But if you'll let jesus take hold of the wheel

You'll make it to heaven on high

Some auto's are painted

And polished so bright

They sell for more than they are worth

And some people think their profession

Will do stop short of the bibles new birth

Just start up your engen

And then you can tell if the thing is hitting on six

For if you depend on the looks of the car

You'll be in a terable fix

Now all our profession's of powder

And paint tho lovely upon the outside

Won't answer to god for he looks on the heart

It matters not how hard we've tried

So if you are stuck in the quicksand of sin

A wondering and flowendering about

Just let god's great engin of glory

And grace with a cable of love pull you out

Get plenty of water and plenty of oil

And the best gasoline you can find

Have the engin tuned up

And look out for your breaks

You'll have some hard places to climb

Look out for the tires for the blowouts will come on

A dangerious curve deep and niegh

But if you'll let jesus take hold of the wheel

You'll make it to heaven on high
