20 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

19 miles from town
My old car broke down
The battery's dead, man like I said
Oh what I'd give to be home

18 miles from town
My old car broke down
The fan belt's slippin' and the engine's missin'
Oh what I'd give to be home restin' my bones

17 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 tryin' 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 and I don't mean maybe

16 miles from town
My old short broke down
My tire's down, no spare around
Oh what I'd give to be home

15 miles from town
My old car broke down
The battery's dead, man like I said
Oh what I'd give to be home

14 miles from town.....
