Any songwriter’s out there?

So a couple of months ago I got the brakes replaced in my Camry. To get to the brakes, the mechanic obviously had to take the wheels off. This meant removing the wheel covers first. After the brakes were replaced, the mechanic told me that one of the wheel covers was missing a couple of tabs and wouldn’t stay on the wheel long, so I just tossed it in the trunk. I didn’t want to be driving down the road and have it come loose and start rolling towards any oncoming traffic. That = bad.

That means I have a car with wheel covers on 3 wheels and 1 with none. It looks ugly. I can spend $35 and replace the one, but then it’d be totally pristine while the others are 13 years old. That wouldn’t be a good look either, methinks.

So, I step outside my apartment to go to work and the bare wheel is just depressing to look at. I stopped for a couple of seconds to stare and thought, “I’m one step from redneck.”

Then I thought, “Hey, that’d make a good title to a country song.”
