Harley - Johnny Cash

Harley didn’t have no education, he could hardly read and write

He was locked into a dead-end occupation, his future didn’t look too bright

He worked eighteen years on the assembly line

Just getting by with a little bit of overtime

And that could be the end of this story of mine but it’s just the beginning

Late one night when he was working on the graveyard, Harley got himself this

big idea

All he’d have to do is change one little screw, save millions of dollars a year

So he worked and he saved until he could open his own shop

Money started rolling in like it wasn’t going to stop

So Harley bought a mountain, built a mansion on top

So the losers could see whom was winning

Only in America with nothing but a dream, only in America where every man’s king

First Harley’s daughter, Janet, found a guru she gave him everything she owned

Then Harley junior joined some kind of rock band

And walked around all day about half stoned

His wife watched TV all the time because she got bored

Then one day she found a TV preacher she adored

And she gave all of Harley’s hard earned money to the Lord

Harley started drinking, wound up in Betty Ford to see if he could buy a happy

ending

Then some kid who worked in Harley’s factory, he got himself this big idea

Figured out how to do it with computers, drove Harley out of business in a year

Now Harley’s back working the assembly line

Just getting by with a little bit of overtime

But don’t count Harley out because he isn’t the quitting kind

He stares at that computer with one thing on his mind

How to make them more user-friendly

Only in America

Only in America
