This squeaky wheel doesn't want any grease.
I'm just rolling along like I do.
I can't help it if I turn people's heads,
I'm not trying to.
This squeaky wheel does not want any grease.
How do you do?Rolling out of town early one morning
I set out on to southbound 99.
The highway patrol pulled up alongside and waved me over.
I really didn't have the extra time.
He said, "Son, don't you worry, you weren't breaking any laws.
I was admiring your fine old Cadillac."
I said, "Admire it if you must, if you can see it through my dust,"
and I slammed on the gas without looking back.

How do you do?Out on the road for months at a stretch,
it gets to where I miss my baby so.
I'd never do a thing she wouldn't want me to do
and I feel terrible about leaving her alone.
But this pretty little thing, well she's looking at my ring
and she walks up to me and she kind of moans.
She says, "Boy, you sure look sad."
I say, "I miss my baby bad.
Would you kindly leave me alone?"

How do you do?After all these years of stepping out on the stage
and singing all these songs that I wrote,
I still get kind of nervous and there's a shaking in my hand
and a tell-tale vibrato in my throat.
But there's a little cure that I use on every tour
and it fits right in the pocket of my coat.
My doctor says to quit and I don't disagree with it
but I have learned not to fix what isn't broke.This squeaky wheel doesn't want any grease,
