Automobile Lyrics by John Prine

Automobile Lyrics

    February morning, my car won't start today
    I turned the key at 8:03 and the battery passed away
    Inside a' my automobile
    I want my automobile
    I want my automobile
    I want to drive it all around this world

    Bride's gettin' married in the springtime
    Widow's gettin married in the fall
    I got married in high school
    Or i wouldn't of got married at all
    I'd be drivin' my automobile
    Be drivin' my automobile
    Be drivin' my automobile
    I wanna drive it all around this world

    Everybody said to the new groom
    Groom, what ya gonna be
    I said i'm gonna be a symphony
    Just as soon as i find a key
    To my automobile
    I want my automobile
    I want my automobile
    All around this world

    Spoken:
    Let's take a ride

    Columbus sailed the ocean
    Moses parted the sea
    Dolores left me yesterday
    Well, i think she took the key
    To my automobile
    I want my automobile
    I want my automobile
    Wanna drive it all around this world

    Now i held a little bitty baby
    I held a woman all night
    Whenever i get the hiccups
    I hold my breath 'til my head gets light
    Then i drive my automobile
    Yeah i drive my automobile
    I drive my automobile
    I'm want to drive it all around this world

    February morning, my car won't start today
    Yeah, i turned the key at 8:03
    And the battery passed away
    Inside a' my automobile
    I'm drivin' my automobile
    Wanna my automobile
    Wanna drive it all around this world
    Go on.

    Spoken:
    It is a beautiful day for a ride
    Hey, get your head down i can't see anything
    Someone give me a cigarette
    I don't want to take my hands off the wheel
    We ought to take the air filter off this sucker.
    So we can see what it will really do.
    Uh oh, it looks to me like a hos-pital zone
    Everybody get quiet. shhhhhhhh.
    Don't wake the dead up.
    We're almost out. hang on. uh oh here we go.
    Well, you can just hold it until we get to the next town.
