Shifty Business

V6

[Intro] [Engine revs, turntable scratch] [Verse 1] Found her in a field with a tree through the hood Rust on the rockers, but the bones looked good Paid two hundred cash and a handshake deal Drug her home on a chain with a flat front wheel Pulled a cam from a wreck, pulled a carb off a van Got a junkyard soul and a napkin plan They laughed at the primer, they laughed at the smoke Then the tree went green and they swallowed the joke [Pre-Chorus] Bolt it, tune it, run it again Every part's a gamble, every gamble's a friend [Chorus] This is shifty business (SHIFT!) Ain't no factory warranty on this Shifty business (SHIFT!) Every gear I bang is a gear you missed [Verse 2] Stage one, stage two, I'm a fiend for the drop Pulled a legendary blower from a dead man's box Slicks on the back and the weight in the trunk Ladder bars planted and the front end jumped Your build came easy, you copied a list Mine took a winter and a busted wrist Ain't no shortcut sold at the counter Earned every tenth and every ounce of her [Pre-Chorus] Bolt it, tune it, run it again Every part's a gamble, every gamble's a friend [Chorus] This is shifty business (SHIFT!) Ain't no factory warranty on this Shifty business (SHIFT!) Every gear I bang is a gear you missed [Bridge] [Half-time breakdown] Pre-stage... Stage... Amber... amber... amber... GO! [Chorus] This is shifty business (SHIFT!) Ain't no factory warranty on this Shifty business (SHIFT!) Every gear I bang is a gear you missed [Outro] [Engine fades past]
