Jesse Winchester Just Like New lyrics

That's the same engine under the hood
That carried young Elvis to Hollywood
He's been 'cross country a time or two
And look at it now, it's just like new

He had a weakness for Cadillacs
A girl in the front and his friends in the back
That's the original paint job too
And look at it now, it's just like new

Elvis was happy, he felt pretty good
Here he was drivin' to Hollywood
Gassin' it up and a pushin' it through
And look at it now, it's just like new

According to one of Elvis's friends
He took it up to a hundred and ten
He just want to see what his Caddy would do
And look at it now, it's just like new


And my, my what a beautiful machine
Ooh boy, it rides just like a dream
It just think of all that it's been through
And look at it now, it's just like new

He drove it to Memphis, come Christmas time
The weather's so fair, the future's so fine
Say, Mama them girls ain't as pretty as you
Look at her Daddy, she's just like new

Elvis was always a dutiful child
And here everybody was thinkin' he's wild
While he bought his folks a Cadillac too
And look at it now, it's just like new
Look at it now, [Incomprehensible] it's just like new
