Verse 1 My radiator’s leakin’, There’s a puddle where I park, I wheeze a little louder Every time I try to start. My spark plugs need replacin’, I’m overdue a tune, And my headlights start to fade out Every night around nine-thirty-two. Chorus I’m scratched, dented, and bent, Every good mile’s already been spent. My head gasket’s blown, And my get-up-and-go is gone. My tread’s worn thin, And my tailgate won’t stay in. I’ve hauled my load and paid my rent— Now I’m scratched, dented, and bent. Verse 2 My shocks don’t take the bumps now, My joints squeak when I turn, I’ve got rust around the edges And an engine that still burns. I’ve climbed a lot of mountains, Pulled some heavy loads uphill, I may rattle like a toolbox, But there’s horsepower in me still! Chorus I’m scratched, dented, and bent, Every good mile’s already been spent. My head gasket’s blown, And my get-up-and-go is gone. My tread’s worn thin, But I’d do it all again. I’ve hauled my load and paid my rent— Now I’m scratched, dented, and bent. Bridge So put me out to pasture Underneath that old shade tree, Leave the windows down and let the breeze Blow easy over me. Don’t trade me for some shiny thing That’s never earned a scar— Every scratch tells where I’ve been, Every dent says who we are. Final Chorus I’m scratched, dented, and bent, But I don’t regret a mile I spent. My head gasket’s blown, But this old heart keeps rollin’ on. My tread’s worn bare, There ain’t much paint left anywhere. I’m worn slap out, but heaven-sent— Just scratched, dented, and bent.
