Rusted Rod
For something that used to run so well,
It looks as useless as anything else sitting rusted.
If it would’ve kept working, everything would be swell,
But it sat around, so everything is busted.
Anything rusted is worthless,
even a Corvette.
Will the wicked Hot rod run again?
It’d be a good bet.
Something that used to run so well can always start back up.
It’s not impossible to get this car out of a rut.
This car may be rusted from the roof to the ground,
but it’s not too late to polish it, and turn things around.
