My Starter Won't Start - Townes Van Zandt

My starter won’t start this mornin'

And I’m about to lose my mind

My starter won’t start this mornin'

And I’m about to lose my mind

I wanna go and see my little baby

But my machine is all outa time

I got water in my gas tank

And my battery’s all run down

I got water in my gas tank

And my battery’s all run down

If I don’t see my little baby

I’m gonn' leave this lonesome town

Well blow your harmonica son…

My starter won’t start this mornin'

And my car won’t do a thing

My starter won’t start this mornin'

No my car won’t do a thing

I must begot some kind of bad disconnection

Somewhere in my piston ring
