Flathead One More Time - Ry Cooder

Three o'clock

This morning

I woke up in a dream

Thought I heard a flathead motor roar

I thought I smelled gasoline

A feeling came upon me

That I ain't had in years

Something like a hot dry wind

Whistling past my ears

Saying "time time

Time is all you got"

There's a memory that's still burning

Way down in my mind

And that's why

I'm going out and trying

A flathead one more time

I ain't seen my racing buddies in thirty years

Or more

One by one I lost them

Out on the dry leaf floor

We learnt to push those flathead cars

As hard as they could go

Just like old Whiskey Bob

Down on Thunder Road

I hear their voices calling

Just accross the finish line

And that's why

I'm going out and trying

A flathead one more time

I'll get back to you baby

Don't you have no fear

'Cos I been there

And I wrecked that

And baby I'm still here

But I can't take you with me

When I cross the finish line

And that's why

I'm going out and trying

A flathead one more time

Time time

Time is all you got
