21 miles from town,
my car broke down
The clutch is shut and the
sun's so high
Oh, what a gift to be home
19 miles from town,
my car broke down
The battery's dead, man, like I said
Oh, what a gift to be home
Eight een miles from town
My old car broke down
The van, oh, slipping
and the engine's a -missing
Oh, what a gift to be home,
rest in my bones
Seventeen miles from town
My old car broke down
Just my luck, I got a few bumps 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
Will I get there before
my bed is cold?
It's got to go, it's got to go,
don't do me, baby
Sixteen miles from town,
my old truck broke down
Chuck's down and
there's fear around,
oh what a gift to be home
Pushed in miles from town,
my car broke down
Bad resentment, like I said
Oh, what I'd give to be home
Fourteen miles from town
My old car broke down
Bad resentment, like I said
Oh, what I'd give to be home
