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.
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.
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.
