Keep the Car Running Songtext
von Andrew Leahey & The Homestead

I wanna turn the radio on
Because it′s been so long
Since I've fallen too fast
For the sound of some song

I wanna let it bend and break me
Keep me wild eyed and wide awake and
Make a mess of my mind
Shiver and shake me

Because the water is wide
I fear the fire is coming
The other beat of the night
Is the enemy drumming
So, if the song sounds right
Then I will keep the car running
From the start ′til it breaks my heart
From the start 'til it breaks my heart


I wanna lift the levee gates up
Face the flood and try my luck
I used to freeze, used to lock my knees
But now it's time for me to come unstuck and

Fade away at the speed of sound and
The way I did before that song first found me
Come back a new man
A missed shot rebounding

Because the water is wide
I fear the fire is coming
The other beat of the night
Is the enemy drumming
So, if the song sounds right
Then I will keep the car running
From the start ′til it breaks my heart
From the start ′til it breaks my heart


Because the water is wide
I fear the fire is coming
The other beat of the night
Is the enemy drumming
So, if the song sounds right
Then I will keep the car running
From the start 'til it breaks my heart
From the start ′til it breaks my heart
