Liner Notes:

My current POS, a Honda CR-V is on it's last legs. At least with me it is. I guess I shouldn't be so harsh, it was a pretty cool vehicle in it's heyday. But it has 196,000 miles and the transmission is a goner. I'm buying a new car this week, so this is my send off to an old buddy.

BLUES DEMO Forthcoming!

Lyrics:

I'm a cruisin' down this highway
About the break of day
I hear a little grinding
Looks like I'll be delayed

Mash down upon the gas
But the wheels don't hardly move
I only want to pass this way
My speed does not improve

CHORUS
I got the automotive blues
Babe, I gotta walk 'cross town to you
I got the automotive blues
Babe I hope you'll wait around

The overdrive went out
The clutch is overhauled
Parts are on back-order
And my back's against the wall

My baby don't like to wait
I'm applyin' my shoe leather
But if she doesn't wait for me
I know the address of another

CHORUS
I got the automotive blues
Babe, I gotta walk 'cross town to you
I got the automotive blues
Babe I hope you'll wait around

Oh how I feel for you. In my younger days I used to buy cars like this and call them new! Cool stuff!
