Trying to make this old car go
She burnin' oil every mile she go
Watching the gas gauge dippin' low
Roll down the window feel the hot wind blow
Gotta see the palm trees one more time
Saltwater washing over friends of mine
See some old faces I left behind
Maybe see a girl who used to think
That she was mine
My car can't do much but stop & go
She got two speeds mama: fast & slow
I get a little help from a prayer I know
It's just got three words mama
Go go go

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
All the little people in all the little towns
Eat their potatoes & pour their coffee down
My wheels keep spinning round and round
Nothing lasts forever so the wise men say
They said it long ago & they're saying it today
I say it to myself when I lose my way
And I seem to lose my way every single day
I get a little edgy when I get a little low
Start gunning up the engine
When I hear the rooster crow
I tell anybody the only thing I know
If I want to keep breathing, mama
I gotta go go go

God gave us suckers so could watch 'em get took
I tried to find the answer in a big fat book
The book wasn't talking, it left me all shook
I went down to the river just to have a look
I heard the river singing she was singing so sweet
I seen the muddy water slapping at my feet
I seen the fishes looking for other fish to eat
Kinda like the people up and down the street
I leave a trail of trouble everywhere I go
Kinda like everybody else I know
The preacher say I'm gonna go down below
But I guess that's the chance you take, mama
If you go go go
