I feel so lonesome,
                            you can hear me when I moan
And I feel so lonesome,
                            you can hear me when I moan
Who's been driving my Terraplane
                                                for you since I've been gone

I said I'd flash your lights, mama,
                                            your horn won't even blow
                    (somebody's been running my battery down on this machine)
I even flashed my lights, mama,
                                    this horn won't even blow

Got a short in this connection,
                                           hoo-well, babe, and it's way down below

I'm going h'ist your hood, mama,
                                            I'm bound to check your oil
I'm going h'ist your hood, mama,
                                            I'm bound to check your oil
I got a woman that I'm loving,
                                            way clown in Arkansas

            Now you know the coils ain't even buzzing
            Little generator won't get the spark.
            Motor's in a bad condition, you gotta have
            These batteries charged
I'm crying, Please,
                        ple-hease don't do me wrong
Who's been driving my Terraplane now for
                                                            you-hoo since I've been gone

Mr. Highwayman,
                        ple-hease don't block the road
Eeecee heecee
                    eee-hease don't block the road
'Cause she's registering a cold one hundred,
                                                        and I'm booked till I got to go

hmmmmmmnunnun
                                    hmmmmmhmmmhmmm
Eeeeeeee
                you can hear me weep and moan
Who's been driving my Terraplane now for
                                                            you-hoo since I've been gone

I'm gonna get deep down in this connection,
                                                            keep on tangling with your wires
I'm gonna get deep down in this connection,
                                                            whoo-well keep on tangling with the wires
And when I mash down on your little starter,
                                                            then your spark plug would give me fire
