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 now
For you since I been gone
Hell I'll flash your lights, mama
I'm bound to check your oil
And I'll flash your lights, mama
This horn won't even blow
There must be a short in this connection
Hoo-well, babe, it's way down below
I'm on'hist your hood, mama
I'm bound to check your oil
I'm on'hist your hood, mama
I'm bound to check your oil
I got a woman that I'm lovin'
Way down in Arkansas
coils ain't even buzzin'
Little generator won't get the spark
When the motor's in a bad condition, you need
These batteries charged
And I'm cryin', please
Please don't do me wrong
Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for
you-hoo since I've been gone
Mr. Highway man
Please don't block the road
Hmm Hmmm, Please don't block the road
Cause when the cold one hundred
And I'm booked and I got to go
Hmm mmm
Hmm mmm mmm
Hmm
You hear me weep and moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane now for
you since I been gone
I'm wanna get down in this connection
keep tanglin' with this wires
Get down in this connection
Keep on tanglin' with these wires
And when I mash down on your little starter
Then your spark plug will give me fire
