Automobile Of Life Lyrics - Singles - Roy Acuff

Some people are just like an automobile 

They'll run fine when every thing is right 

When the roads are all clear and the weather is fine 

And there's plenty of sunshine and light 

But often they come to a wash out 

And then get stuck and have to detour 

Maybe a break in the casting will prove 

They never were built to endure 

Get plenty of water and plenty of oil 

And the best gasoline you can find 

Have the engine tuned up and look out for your breaks 

You'll have some hard places to climb 

Look out for the tires for the blowouts will come 

On a dangerous curve deep and neigh 

But if you'll let Jesus take hold of the wheel 

You'll make it to heaven on high 

Some auto's are painted and polished so bright 

They sell for more than they are worth 

And some people think their profession 

Will do stop short of the bibles new birth 

Just start up your engine and then 

You can tell if the thing is hitting on six 

For if you depend on the looks of the car 

You'll be in a terrible fix 

Now all our profession's of powder and paint 

Though lovely upon the outside 

Won't answer to God for He looks on the heart 

It matters not how hard we've tried 

So if you are stuck in the quicksand of sin 

And wondering and floundering about 

Just let God's great engine of glory and grace 

With a cable of love pull you out 

Get plenty of water and plenty of oil 

And the best gasoline you can find 

Have the engine tuned up and look out for your breaks 

You'll have some hard places to climb 

Look out for the tires for the blowouts will come 

On a dangerous curve deep and neigh 

But if you'll let Jesus take hold of the wheel 

You'll make it to heaven on high
