"Studebaker" by Warrren Zevon:
I left my home in Monterey Just another low prospects man I'd rather work in a foundry Than put fishes in a can I'm 35 and I haven't traveled far And I've spent all my money on this misbegotten car I'm up against it all Like a leaf against the wind And the Studebaker keeps on breaking down again My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again I'm speeding south on 99 When the manifold started smokin' I ran her off the shoulder And now the axle's broken It made a sound that cracked my heart in half And with only a half, a half pint of Vodka left I'm up against it all Like a leaf against the wind And the Studebaker keeps on breaking down again My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend But this damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again...
