Nope ... but in that you had to ask ...

"Lucille" Based on the performance by Kenny Rogers "Loose Wheel" Parody by Jan Unwin Loose Wheel

On a road in Toledo, across from the depot I was cruising in my old heap. It wasn't good lookin' But I was sure bookin' And anyway I got it dirt cheap. Me and my old lady Were cruising 'bout 80 When the car really started to roar Round the curve we were turnin', and something was burnin' But I shoved that old gas pedal down to the floor

In the mirror I saw something cruise down the highway I thought how it looked out of place It was my tire, going like fire I had a strange look on my face I really don't know but, it looked like a donut For a minute I thought I was dead I started crying, I thought we were dying I looked out the windshield and said

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel With four old bald tires, you were such a good deal I've had some clunkers, some really bad junkers But you were just a great steal You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel

After the collision, I made a decision I thought how I'd lived through it all In the glow of the headlights, I checked out the damage You really couldn't see much at all I started thinking, I'm glad I'm not drinking And these words came back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel With 4 old bald tires, you were such a good deal I've had some clunkers, some really bad junkers But you were just a great steal You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel
