Well, I went to the doctor  
I said, “I’m feeling kind of rough”  
He said, “Let me break it to you, son”  
Your shit’s fucked up."  
I said, “my shit’s fucked up?”  
Well, I don’t see how-"  
He said, “The shit that used to work-  
It won’t work now.”

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels  
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields  
'65, I was 17 and running up 101  
I don’t know where I’m running now, I’m just running on

I don’t know where I’m going,  
Don’t know where I’ve been.  
'Cause I haven’t seen my baby,  
Since I don’t know when.

I’m walking down that long road,  
With a smile up on my face.  
I’m broken-hearted,  
But you won’t see a trace.

A dozen times they’d start to hug and kiss  
And then the darned old engine it would miss,  
And then he’d have to get under,  
Get out and get under,  
And fix up his automobile.
