Lee Dorsey My Old Car Lyrics

My Old Car Lyrics

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
