There's all kinds you'll find
dented souls and concave minds
holes in the heart that need plugging
smoothing over the spots hurting
for gentle earth and care.
And even when you're good at restoration,
master body man, par excellence,
that chassis that you're dragging around
has more dents than car 8
at the fairgrounds demo derby.
There's some that say it's totaled
no hope for that wreck that keeps on rolling,
long past it's time for the junkyard...
and I don't know why they're so worried about my ride;
perhaps it's their pride in the old antique,
worry that repairs may be too costly,
afraid the mechanic will do more harm than good,
silly, I know; it just needs sandpaper, Bondo
and a lot of loving care, filling in
the low spots
