3 Good Hubcaps - song
by Jerry Ratch
I got 3 good hubcaps
That oughta be enough
You can take away my house
You can take away my stuff
Just leave it on the curbside
With my beat-up Cadillac
Got my 3 good hubcaps
I ain't never coming back
I'm done with this old town
Gonna get on with my ride
Stick my elbow out the window
On the driver's side
Toss the bottle out the other
When the cops come cruising by
‘Cause when my woman left me
I had nowhere left to hide
I got 3 good hubcaps
And I'm moving down the road
She left me high and dry
For some old horny toad
I don't know what I did
Just think I'm gonna cry
Soon as this whiskey bottle
Starts to running dry
I got 3 good hubcaps
That oughta be enough
You can take away my house
You can take away my stuff
Just leave it on the curbside
With my beat-up Cadillac
Got my 3 good hubcaps
I ain't never coming back
I've got 3 good hubcaps
And nowhere left to go
And drinking all this whiskey
Left me feeling kinda low
What can I do when the tears
Keep running down my face?
I'm no longer looking tough
And I'm feeling out of place
I got 3 good hubcaps
Now what am I gonna do?
I've got 3 good hubcaps
And need another brew
I've got 3 good hubcaps
And need another brew
Screw that, make it two
I got 3 good hubcaps
That oughta be enough
You can take away my house
You can take away my stuff
Just leave it on the curbside
With my beat-up Cadillac
Got my 3 good hubcaps
I ain't never coming back

What, ain' no houn'dawg? I can hear the twangin' accompaniment, maybe some brushes, maybe not. *
*Purely good stuff, Jerry.
I like it.
*, Jerry.
Nice work, Jerry. I have a way with a tune if your of a mind to share some other lyrics.*
I like this because it's what country music used to be, back when it was worth a listen.
I'd love to hear this set to music. I like the rhythm and depth of feeling - made me smile too in parts.

I have a musical version of this by Tom Casesa in NYC. I can email it if you're interested. just send me your regular email. Tom did two great versions of the song.
I also have a really rousing version of this song by Tim Young I can send along as well.
Thanks, Tim!
The Tom Casesa version is up on youtube.
