Intro: #1. Twenty long miles from town, my old car broke down. The clutch is shot and it sounded so hot, oh, what I'd give to be home. #2. 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. #3. 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. #4. Seventeen miles from town, my old car broke down. Just my luck, I got the fuel pump stuck. Oh, what I'd give to be home. Bridge: 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. #5. 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. INTERLUDE: OUTRO: 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...(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
