My old car broke down
The clutch is shot
And the sound is so hot
Oh, what I'd give to be home
Nineteen miles from town
My old car broke down
The battery's dead
Man, like I said
Oh, what I'd give to be home
Eighteen miles from town
My old car broke down
The fan belt's slipping
And the engine's missing
Oh, what I'd give to be home
Resting my bones
Seventeen miles from town
My old car broke down
Just my luck, I've got
The fuel pump's stuck
Oh, what I'd give to be home
When the sun's
So high up in the sky
And I'm trying to
Get home to my baby
When I get that far
I'm gonna get rid of this car
It's got to go, it's got to go
And I don't mean maybe
Sixteen miles from town
My old short broke down
My tire's down and no spare around
Oh, what I'd give to be home
Oh yeah
Fifteen miles from town
My old car broke down
The battery's dead
Man, like I said
Oh, what I'd give to be home
Fourteen miles from town
My old car broke down
Twenty long miles from town My old car broke down The clutch is shot And the sound is so hot Oh, what I'd give to be home Nineteen miles from town My old car broke down The battery's dead Man, like I said Oh, what I'd give to be home Eighteen miles from town My old car broke down The fan belt's slipping And the engine's missing Oh, what I'd give to be home Resting my bones Seventeen miles from town My old car broke down Just my luck, I've got The fuel pump's stuck Oh, what I'd give to be home When the sun's So high up in the sky And I'm trying to Get home to my baby When I get that far I'm gonna get rid of this car It's got to go, it's got to go And I don't mean maybe Sixteen miles from town My old short broke down My tire's down and no spare around Oh, what I'd give to be home Oh yeah Fifteen miles from town My old car broke down The battery's dead Man, like I said Oh, what I'd give to be home Fourteen miles from town My old car broke down Explain Request ×
