Warren Zevon — Studebaker

[Verse 1] I left my home in Monterey Just another no prospects man Who'd rather work in the foundries Than put fishes in a can I'm twenty-five but I have not traveled far And I spend all my money on this misbegotten car I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind [Chorus] And the Studebaker keeps on breakin' down again This Studebaker keeps on breakin' down again I thought I'd go to Fresno, oh, to see my friend This damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again [Verse 2] I was speedin' south on 99 When the manifold started smokin' I ran her off the shoulder And now the axle's broken Made a sound that cracked my heart in half With less than half a half-pint of vodka left I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind [Chorus] And the Studebaker keeps on breakin' down again This
