Fifteen Days Under The Hood

Well, this life is one big automobile
I've been 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 gettin' so bad I'm startin' to swear
Fifteen days under the hood

Well, I'm awful hungry, I wish I had some beans
Fifteen days under the hood
But I spent all but a dollar on Valvoline
Fifteen days under the hood
Lucky I saved a buck to get something to eat
Too bad I spent it later on wheel bearing grease
The cop just told me to get my car off the street
Fifteen days under the hood

Well, I went downstairs and I put on my good pants
To go to the junkyard for a vacuum advance
I was just climbin' into my shirt
When I remembered I couldn't go 'cause my
Car don't work
Let me tell you friends what's wrong with me
Fifteen days under the hood

I just dropped the transmission on my knee
Fifteen days under the hood
I got water in the oil and the London flu
Burnt wires, vapor lock, worn brake shoes
I got the dead battery, broken fan belt blues
Fifteen days under the hood

I'm trying to get this accelerator cable free
Fifteen days under the hood
Andy Granatelli's tells on the radio about STP
Fifteen days under the hood
I'm lookin' with my flashlight for the timing chain
I just skinned my knuckles and I'm in great pain
It's all for cold it's startin' to rain
Fifteen days under the hood

" If I could get this thing fixed
I'd go see my baby tonight "
