Song Lyrics
Bill Comegna
by Sawyer Brown. I can't quite get what the first two line of this
verse are.
All I can come up with is ---
I yelled and asked if you would like a ride.
When we pulled out of the yard, ????????????????? tire?
I would appreciate it if someone could fill in the question marks for me.
Thanks
Bill
Christine A. Cwiklinski

It's definitely "I bald a tire"....besides, it's the only one of the
suggested lyrics so far that makes any sense!

I thought it was:
"well we pulled out of the yard on balding tires.
now i'm not first class, but i'm no white trash, i'm wild and a little crazy too"

All of this chaos makes perfect sense.

This discussion came up when this song was first popular. In fact, I
started the thread at that time. The general consensus then (as now) was
that he is saying "I bald a tire". Well, I hate to nitpick (actually,
I *love* to nitpick), but "bald" is not defined as a transitive verb
in Webster's unabridged dictionary (the mongo ones that you see in
the library). It *is* defined as an intransitive verb (as in "he is
beginning to bald noticeably"), but there is no such thing as "balding"
a tire (as compared to "puncturing" a tire). And even if it *were* a
transitive verb, the correct usage would be "I balded a tire", which
is not only incorrect, it sounds downright ugly. In any case, that
*is* what he is saying here, so it *is* the correct answer to the
original question, correct grammar or not.
OK, end of grammar lesson. Let's get back to country music.

but there is no such thing as "balding"
> a tire >
... well, I don't know where mr Webster grew up, but in my day, I bald'd
quite a few tires. We'ld go down to the main drag on a Friday or Saterday
night and cruise around, and if we came upon some chicks and felt like
Impressin' em, I'ld "pop" the clutch and let'er wind. ... That's baldin' a
tire. (it always helped if you were drivin' on "skins" to begin with)

"I bald a tire" goes in the question marks. I don't use the verb
bald in my writing vey much, but I think that is how it would be
spelled.
