M6 south down Liverpool, where they play the west coast sound;
Sailor sam, he came from Birmingham, but he never will be found.
Doin' fine when a london sign, greets me like a long lost friend;
Mister motor won't you check her out, she's gotta take me back again.

Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see.
What your simple horseless carriage has become.
Well it seems your contribution to man;
To say the least, got a little out of hand.
Well Lord Mr. Ford what have you done.

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel;
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel.
It's my baby callin', says I need you here;
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear.

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road;
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load.
“If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride;”
And so I climbed into the cab, and then I settled down inside.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car;
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead;
The car was stalled, the engine was dead.
