50's 60's Man Lyrics

Lonnie Mack 50's 60's Man

Got a lot of miles on this old machine
Still works good, well it's bad and it's mean
Kinda like a whole lotta shakin' goin' on, '57 Chevy, '49 Ford
Ain't it a shame they don't make 'em no more?

Went to a party the other night
Skinny little thing wanted to hold me tight
Said "uh uh honey you're a little too lean
Marilyn Monroe's the girl of my dreams"
Ain't it a shame they don't make it em no more?

I'm a 50's 60's man, a 50's 60's man (repeats)

(keyboard solo)

Checking out the car lots to find me a peach
With a big 'ol Flow like the kind I need
"Son, you know they can't be found
Unless you go looking on the outskirts of town"
Ain't it a shame they don't make em no more?

They say some things gone are better off gone
But I'm into stayin' livin' on and on

I'm a 50's 60's man, a 50's 60's man (repeats 3x)
