New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Fifteen Days Under The Hood lyrics

Hughey-Tempchin Well this life is one big automobile Fifteen days under the hood Sometimes it's hard to believe it's real Fifteen days under the hood Well I'm way down here with my feet in the air I got grease and oil all in my hair It's getting so bad, I'm starting to swear Fifteen days under the hood Well I'm awful hungry I wish I had some beans Fifteen days under the hood I spent all but a dollar on valvoline Fifteen days under the hood I'm lucky I saved a buck to get something to eat Too bad I'll spend it later On wheel bearing grease A cop just told me to get my car Off the street, fifteen days under the hood Well I went downstairs I put on my good pants To go to the junkyard for a vacuum advance I was just climbin' into this shirt When I remembered I couldn't go Because my car don't work Let me tell you friends what's wrong with me Fifteen days under the hood I just dropped the crank shaft on my knee Fifteen days under the hood I got water in my oil and the london flu Burnt valves, vapor lock, worn brake shoes I got those dead-battery-broken-fan-belt blues Fifteen days under the hood Well I'm trying to get this accelerator cable free Fifteen days under the hood Andy granatelli's on the radio for S.T.P. Fifteen days under the hood I'm looking for the flashlight for the timing chain I just skinned my knuckles and I'm in great pain It's awful cold and it's starting to rain Fifteen days under the hood
