Murray McLauchlan - Burned Out Car lyrics

Live out of a suitcase in the back Wash in the restrooms at the Shell Get my meals in the Taco Bell Eat in parking lots from a paper sack Duck out of the window and out of sight The cops come by and shine their lights The dealers are fighting in the night I hug my sleeping bag real tight I live in a car that dosen't go nowhere It's one short step to a shopping cart In a twilight world that has no heart I watch the sun go down from a burned out car I'd be in movies but they don't give leads To any people that look like me Got a layer of funk from the ozone cloud When the sun goes down I just hide out I live in a car that dosen't go nowhere It's one short step to a shopping cart In a twilight world that has no heart I watch the sun go down from a burned out car I wish that I could get relief I wish that I could fix my teeth I wish that I could wash my clothes I wish I had some place to go I live in a car that dosen't go nowhere It's one short step to a shopping cart In a twilight world that has no heart I watch the sun go down from a burned out car
