My love don't know from nothing
My love from out of town
Well I'm running
I'm running now
Where my love been did around
She come clean from naked country
She come clean where the land don't lie
Well I'm gunning
I'm gunning now
Gasoline roll down her thighs
On this anvil
Where they lay her favor down
Drill and driver
Burn my blankets on the ground
Well I hear no motor scraping
I don't hear no engine sound
All them gears and
Engineers
The new machine is all around
The new machine is all around
