Fred Eaglesmith - Alternator lyrics

Well I got a little pickup It used to be a Ford Its quite a little sweetie, got a four on the floor All the fellas used to race me But they don't anymore Cause lately at the red line she just stalls Nothing happens when I put it to the bar Might be the alternator Could be the coil Well I got a little gal lives down the line I pick her up every night at a quarter to nine Lately when I get there she don't want to go She said shes tired of walking all the way home I said, “I can explain” She said, “I know, It might be the alternator could be the coil” Might be the alternator could be the coil Something gone wrong and that's for sure Took it to the garage, put a note on the door Said it might be the alternator could be the coil My mama lives just around the corner I take her to church every Sunday morning Last Saturday night she called me up Said, tomorrow son I think I'll walk You got troubles of your own Might be the alternator could be the coil Might be the alternator could be the coil Something gone wrong and that's for sure Took it to the garage, put a note on the door Said it might be the alternator could be the coil Might be the alternator could be the coil Might be the alternator Might be the alternator Might be the alternator Could be the coil
