A real nice lady tried to maintain her interest in me despite my usual trepidation. the names have been changed to protect the indolent.

The story IS the song I s'pose.

Retread
Charles W - t Consaul

1. Tread lightly girl and do not make a fool of me
I'm used, abused and must be treated tenderly
Worn down by a fickle heart, I'm back to try once more
I'm just a retread on love's worn out Ford

2. Don't go too fast or all my tread
Will fall right off
Dont' spin me 'round or push me 'cause I'm
Not too tough
Drive careful down the road of life
And I will last a good long while
I'm just a retread, I am not a band new tire

C: I don't have bands of fiberglass
Or steel to buffer me
From all the glass and potholes
You keep steering underneath

3. Remember darling
You are in the driver's seat
It's up to you to use me well or set me free
I'm on my final road
So do not put me through your dance
Retreads do not ever get a second chance
