Car Trouble

Car trouble on a lonely road

I picked up my baby 'bout a quarter to eight
Her Dad said "don’t keep my girl out late
Be back home at a half past ten or else..."

Car trouble on a lonely road

Didn’t have time to go and see a show
Nothin' to do, no place to go
So we drove to the lake and we parked beneath the trees

Car trouble on a lonely road
Car trouble on a lonely road

We were listening to music on the radio
Before we knew it it was time to go
I stepped on the starter and I didn't get a sound

We started a-walkin' back to town
Couldn't get a ride, everybody turned us down
As we walked in the gate I could hear her Dad, he yelled...
"Didn't I tell you to get my daughter back by 10:30, you bum!"

So listen you fellas, take a tip from me
Don’t park too long beneath the trees
'Cause if your car won't start then your goose is cooked but good
