Engine in Contention (Can't Get Far)


Sheriff Bill came down the hill
Said I'd burned my dollar bill
Which is why I can't get gas
to cross the great water

No I can't get far
with my engine in contention

Feeling bored
with the whine of my engine
Spinning those wheels
across that desert
for miles and miles
miles and miles

Dirt on the dash
Gotta a bunch of scratches
Just might explode
before it ups and crashes

I can't get far
with my engine in contention
No we can't get far
with our engines in contention

Tweeting my missives into the Trumpster dumpster
Tweeting my missiles into the endless pointless ether
I am wearing camouflage at the coffeehouse
and my Ford Exploder broke down
Just might need a llama, Dolly

When all is lost
and the gloss if off the posh
My Ford Exploder can't get off
and running
to save the girl upon the bridge

I can't get far
with my engine in contention
No we can't get far
with our engines in contention
I can't get far
with my engine in contention
No we can't get far
with our engines in contention

Editor's notes: The updated lyrics for the lone Bards of Mythville hit,
"Engine in Contention," produced by Martin "Tex" Barringer
