lyrics

My Engine Stalled

It was a cold rainy night, I was laying there in bed
after a long hard day
I just needed to clear my head,
I was hoping to get some sleep when that boss man called.
I was halfway to down work
when my engine stalled.

I was stranded on the turnpike on my way to the show
things were all backed up
and there was really nowhere to go.
Then suddenly there was this clearing, and my lane became unwalled.
Oh, and I was making my move
when my engine stalled.

I was racing down some back road and I was biding my time
swerving round the obstacles;
getting close to the finish line.
Though my suspension was shaky and my tires were bald
I was still doing just fine
till my engine stalled.

It was a warm sunny day; I was cruising down by the beach
flying in my Nova,
way out of any problem’s reach.
Then she and her mustang passed me, she stepped on the gas and hauled
and I almost caught up with her,
well, that is, before my engine stalled.
