Lyrics
And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan When I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan Who been drivin' my Terraplane for you since I been gone? I'd said, "I'll flash your lights, mama, your horn won't even blow" (Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine) I even flash my lights, mama this horn won't even blow Got a short in this connection Hoo well, babe, it's way down below I'm goin' heist your hood, mama, I'm bound to check your oil I'm goin' heist your hood, mama, I'm bound to check your oil I got a woman that I'm lovin' way down in Arkansas Now, you know the coils ain't even buzzin' Little generator won't get the spark Motor's in a bad condition You gotta have these batteries charged But I'm cryin', please, please don't do me wrong Who been drivin' my Terraplane Now for you since I been gone Mr. Highway Man, please don't block the road Please, please don't block the road Cause she's reachin' a cold one hundred And I'm booked and I got to go Yoo, ..... you hear me weep and moan Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for you since I been gone I'm gon' get down in this connection, keep on tanglin' with your wires I'm gon' get down in this connection, oh well, keep on tanglin' with these wires And when I mash down on your little starter then your spark plug will give me fire
