Riley Green - They Don't Make 'Em Like That No More

I'm still drivin' that Chevrolet
That daddy bought new back in '88
And it's more rust than two-tone paint
But turn the key and it'll crank
My first guitar was an Epiphone
Same one I'm still pickin' on
I thought about sellin' when times got tough
But I just couldn't give it up

'Cause they don't make 'em like that no more
Some things you can't find in a discount store
There's just something about bein' handmade
And bought with cash on a firm handshake
Like ol' Zebco's and pocket knives
Shotguns, rifles, four wheel drives
And this wore out pair of boots that my daddy wore
Well, they don't make 'em like that no more

There's a cardboard box marked give away
Full of old cassettes and 8-track tapes
That's the first time I ever heard Hank
Don't wanna hear him any other way
There's a little white house granddaddy built
Cross a dried up creek bank and cotton field
He sawed every board at the local mill
And in a hundred years it'll be standin' still

'Cause they don't make 'em like that no more
Some things you can't find in a discount store
There's just something about bein' handmade
And bought with cash on a firm handshake
Like ol' Zebco's and pocket knives
Shotguns, rifles, four wheel drives
And this wore out pair of boots that my daddy wore
Well, they don't make 'em like that no more
They don't make 'em like that no more

Well, my granddaddy cussed and chewed Red Man
Grandmama prayed and knew every hymn
And they don't make 'em like that no more
They don't make 'em like that no more

'Cause they don't make 'em like that no more
Some things you can't find in a discount store
There's just something about bein' handmade
And bought with cash on a firm handshake
Like ol' Zebco's and pocket knives
Shotguns, rifles, four wheel drives
And this wore out pair of boots that my daddy wore
Well, they don't make 'em like that no more
They don't make 'em like that no more
