Quick Buck

Watching the train going down the line I wonder which way will it go Spinning my wheels, going round and round Not too much to show Kicking a can down the road Scratching that itch, digging that hole Wasting away with my thumb in the wind One foot in the door, I'll squeeze the other one in Making the rounds in the old pickup truck Your garbage is out I could use a few bucks You get a dollar a pound for aluminum cans In the old copper eyes of the scrap metal man You want a short cut around some hard luck You just need a quick buck Just need a quick buck Just need a quick buck He's got bicycle wheels and alternators Old lawn mowers and radiators Iron stoves, wire hangers He's got filling tanks filled up with carburetors He's got license plates, tire weights Rail road spikes from cargo freights Rusted locks, engine blocks I hope you got your Tetanus shot for Bailing wire, broken pliers, nuts and bolts and Beat up tires Copper cobalt iron steel Let's pile it up and make a deal Let's make a deal Your silver spoon ain't worth a damn In the old copper eyes of the scrap metal man Your silver spoon ain't worth a damn In the old copper eyes of the scrap metal man Your silver spoon ain't worth a damn In the old copper eyes of the scrap metal man Your silver spoon ain't worth a damn In the old copper eyes of the scrap metal man You want a short cut around some hard luck You just need a quick buck Just need a quick buck Just need a quick buck
