It just keeps on lurching
Chevy's gonna break
It just keeps on coughing
Chevy's gonna break
And when my Chevy breaks
I'll have no car to drive

My old Chevy, rusting dry,
It's just peeling chrome and chrome
My old Chevy it's just peeling chrome
It's got what it takes
To get a mountain man to his home
Oh well ah, well-a, oh, well-a, ooh ooh

Well don't it make ya feel sad?
When it breaks down on your long way home
And the gas is in an overflow
if your driving down south
And the doors all fall off
The ya drive north to Amaco
Ah, yeah, yeah, hey

Tryin' won't fix it
Prayin' won't do no good
No, trying won't fix it
And prayin' won't do you no good
And when my Chevy breaks
hah-ha, I get the blues
Uh whoo whoo

I can't fix it right
Sat on my Chevy and moaned
I can't fix it right
Sat on my Chevy and moaned
Fixing up my baby
And it's plated chrome

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,
ah-ah-ah, ha
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,
ah-ah-ah, ha
Honk, honk....
Going, I was going to Amaco
Going to Amaco
Breaking down, breaking down
Now, breaking down, breaking down, now

Breakin' breaking down,
breaking down, breaking down yeah
Drivin' 'round, drivin' round, drivin' 'round'
Round, breaking down now
Breakin' down, breaking down, now, breakin' down
Breaking down, down, down, down, down
Ooh-woo-woo, ooh-woo-woo
