[QUOTE=Lawson Cox;2171518]"Such a fine sight to see-Its a Girl, My Lord, in a Flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me."

It is quite clear to me that whoever wrote the lyrics to that song didn't fully understand what he was writing about. It is obvious that not many girls would slow down to look at you if you were driving a "flatbed" Ford. Capish?[/QUOTE

I agree Lawson - I wöuld love to change it to "flathead" but Glen Frys line is so iconic it would be sort of like changing Lincolns Gettysberg speech!

Beside girls don't slow down to look at me anymore (if ever) they plant the gas pedal instead
