[VERSE 1]
B E
Pulled the engine, with the block and chain
A E
Got the oil pump in, just before the rain
B E
In the gravel drive, it's a Pontiac
A B
On the weekend you'll find me at the track
[VERSE 2]
B E
It's a seventy-four, Dad bought it new
A E
Still mostly stock, and it's rusted through
B E
I only worry, 'bout what's underneath
A B
What she looks like don't mean a damn to me
[CHORUS]
A E
'Cause you don't need, that flash and shine
B E
You just need to be hard off the line
A C#m
So keep your lacquer, chrome and flames
B E
I'll paint mine primer gray
[VERSE 3]
B E
Some men are rich, and they'll let you know
A E
Some guys act tough, it's all a show
B E
I know the things, men hold inside
A B
We're all about the same when you turn out the lights
[CHORUS]
A E
'Cause you don't need, that flash and shine
B E
You just need to be hard off the line
A C#m
So keep your lacquer, chrome and flames
B E
I'll paint mine primer gray
[BRIDGE]
B E
Dad was pretty fast back in the day
B E
Bring that trophy home now, Mama used to say
A E
It'd sit there on the shelf gathering dust
B E
Luck turns to loss, and chrome to rust
[G O]

[VERSE 4]
B E
I've got that car, detailed and tuned
A E
My boy's sixteen, he'll be driving soon
B E
But he won't drive, that old seventy-four
A B
Kids today they all want something more
[FINAL CHORUS]
A E
'Cause you don't need, that flash and shine
B E
You just need to be hard off the line
A C#m
So keep your lacquer, chrome and flames
B E
I'll paint mine primer gray
A C#m
It's what you do, not what you say
B E
I'll paint mine primer gray
