Lyrics

Zeke rolled up to the tavern in his rickety old ride
A rusted out station wagon with wood along the side
Poor old tail pipe banging like it puffed its last mile
They asked why he hadn't junked it Zeke just downed a shot and smiled

It rattles but it rolls
Rockin' loud and rough
The edges are jagged running kind of ragged
But that just means its tough
Don't give up on something just because its old
It was made to last its still plenty fast
Yeah it rattles but it rolls

Zeke walked up to the jukebox
Had a look at every song
He played the only oldie and ordered something strong
Lately music's gotten slicker one kid wanted something new
Zeke said when I shoot hard liquor honky tonks got to be hard too

It rattles but it rolls
Rockin' loud and rough
The edges are jagged running kind of ragged
But that just means its tough
Don't give up on something just because its old
It was made to last its still plenty fast
Yeah it rattles but it rolls

Well that college kid regretted what he did
When he called that old song noise
He mouthed off to Zeke cause his old knees creaked
And he had Winston's in his voice
But Zeke just cracked his knuckles and knocked that hotshot cold
He taught that schoolboy a lesson that it rattled but it rolled

Yeah he rattles but he rolls
Rockin' loud and rough
The edges are jagged running kind of ragged
But that just means its tough
Don't give up on something just because its old
It was made to last its still plenty fast
Yeah it rattles but it rolls

It rattles but it rolls
Rockin' loud and rough
The edges are jagged running kind of ragged
But that just means its tough
Don't give up on something just because its old
It was made to last its still plenty fast
Yeah it rattles but it rolls

It was made to last it's still plenty fast
Yeah it rattles but it rolls
