Ive got a car thats always stuck in the last gear.
Its starts and it goes if you leave it alone but you cant steer.
Taking it out on a Sunday drive on the back roads
And it waits till Im far away from home and the sun is getting low
And wouldnt you know it, shes breaking down again
Pulling her over onto the shoulder, letting her under my skin
Ive got a woman that I havent seen for a good year
Shes got a new job, yeah I love her a lot but she aint here.
Weve got a system and shes got it all worked out
But theres something missing that shes forgetting that she cant live
without
(Repeat Chorus)
(repeat verse progression)
Ive got a car, it looks real good with the top down
But it lost a tire and caught on fire in the last town
Ive got a girl whos drying her eyes with a haiku
So Im hitching a ride down 35, gotta be there by afternoon
(Repeat Chorus)
