Herb's Garage Lyrics
I been here 40 years
I been here since dirt
You know what dirt is?
Dirt
Do you know where Herb's Garage is?
You hard of hearing?
I owned that garage years ago
To that theater over there
You know where it is
Used to go there for a dime
You could go from here to Garden Grove
It was always a two-lane highway
Do you know how old I am?
Do you know how old I am?
The first license in this town was Dick's Horse's Drinks
Sold his license around
Do you know how old I am?
How you lighting that cigarette?
That's the wrong way to burn them
Two lights and turn right
Two lights and turn right
I could write a song in a heartbeat
If you ever see my darling
Drink another drink
To steal
Stealing
Do you know what I'm saying?
Are you hard of hearing?
Do you know how old I am?
One more light, my darling
We had one donut and a cup
Even though we knew
Hold on, let me get the lyrics together
Hold on, let me get the lyrics together
Molchek was the fastest race-car driver
You think you're smart?
Molchek was over the wall in Indianapolis
Over that wall
Do you know how old I am?
My dad built that car
My father built some of the finest race cars in the world
Do you know how old I am?
This is probably the last cigarette I'll ever get in my life
I been here since dirt
You know what dirt is?
Dirt
Do you know where Herb's Garage is?
You hard of hearing?
I owned that garage years ago
To that theater over there
You know where it is
Used to go there for a dime
You could go from here to Garden Grove
It was always a two-lane highway
Do you know how old I am?
Do you know how old I am?
Sold his license around
Do you know how old I am?
That's the wrong way to burn them
Two lights and turn right
Two lights and turn right
I could write a song in a heartbeat
If you ever see my darling
Drink another drink
To steal
Stealing
Do you know what I'm saying?
Are you hard of hearing?
Do you know how old I am?
We had one donut and a cup
Even though we knew
Hold on, let me get the lyrics together
Hold on, let me get the lyrics together
You think you're smart?
Molchek was over the wall in Indianapolis
Over that wall
Do you know how old I am?
My father built some of the finest race cars in the world
Do you know how old I am?

Supposedly this is a verbatim transcript of an old man's rantings in a mechanic's waiting room. It seems like "Hold on, let me get the lyrics together" is Knott speaking, though.
Heard it from Mr. Knott himself in concert. Mike was at a bar in CA somewhere between shows and ended up sitting next to an inebriated elderly gentleman who started telling Mike about the local area and how he grew up there.
