(listen to the song in Music)
I’m cruising in my junker feeling like I’m running
low on air, low on air
How’s a man to find a pumper in the middle of
god knows where, god knows where
First sign that comes up, by god, I’m gonna
go down there, go down there
All that smoke come out the chimney you know there’s sure to
be a fire, be a fire
Someone might have the means and ends to satisfy my
heart’s desire, heart’s desire
My engine needs a jump and I just might’ve found a
real live wire, real live wire
I step up to her door wonderin’ just what the
time would tell, time would tell
I screw up my courage to throw my coin into her
wishing well, wishing well
I am damn well determined that I’s a gonna
ring her bell, ring her bell
Don’t want to scare her off so I figure I should
hide my pride, hide my pride
Thinkin’ I might come off too rough but I prayed that she would
let it slide, let it slide
When a voice come through the door ask me
Would I like to come inside, come inside
Her front door swing open but she says to enter
’round the back, ‘round the back
Give it a little push, my man, I keep it open
just a crack, just a crack
Don’t have to ask me twice, ma’am, rest assured I’ve
got the knack, got the knack
I hitch up my pants like I’s just about to
tie my horse, tie my horse
Gotta get my engine revving I’m afraid I’ll have to
‘ply some force, ‘ply some force
And I don’t need to tell you that I got the job done
But of course, but of course
Well right now she can’t greet you, pal, sorry but her
hands are tied, hands are tied
Seems my timing sure was perfect she could use a man there
by her side, by her side
Who could provide a firm hand to rectify her
double-wide, double-wide
So remember when you suffer you might find someone to
bear your cross, bear your cross
You’re about a foot from winnin’ even when you think you’re
at a loss, at a loss
You will break through every barrier you’re bound to drive your
point across, point across
