Old Folks and Automobiles
[A] x 16 [E][F][D][E]%][A]%]%]%]
What’s that I see….. creeping up the road
Right down the middle…… driving real slow
There’s danger ahead ……and it’s not that far
There’s a senior citizen…… driving that car
I don’t want seem like I’m loosing my nerve
but he stopped the car in the middle of the curve
Old folks driving automobiles

They drive on one side and then on the other
Signal one way then turn another
[D] Run a stop sign without even looking
[A] Force you off the road and then they keep on booking
They might see you coming then again they might not
You might have the right of way but that doesn’t mean a lot
Old folks driving automobiles x2

Most can’t hear and the rest can’t see
but they enjoy the open road and they are feeling free
[D] Ask’em how they’re doing…. They’re fit as a fiddle
[A] While they’re taking their half right down the middle
I’ll be there sooner than I think
It’s like driving drunk without taking a drink
Old folks driving automobiles x2
==[A] x4 [D] x2 [A]x2 [E][F][D][E]%][A]%]%]%]%]%]%]%]=

I’m not saying they all can’t drive. My interest lies in just staying alive
So when your diving skills start to fail you
Don’t keep on driving……they just might nail ya
There’s 2 things that really make my tires squeal
It’s those old folks driving automobiles

note:
This song needed to be written. So I wrote it.
It was actually co-written by the actions of an elderly neighbor named Russell Scruggs. When I first moved to Darlington Heights there were quite a collection of old folks, most of them still driving. I didn’t make it up. I just made it rhyme.
