My Kingdom For A Car  (Phil Ochs)


A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car

I've found my freedom here and I been flying down that highway of gold
My shirt sleeves are rolled and my Colt 45 is cold
I go fast 'til I'm going faster

Look how far we've come, look how far
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car

How I love that highway it picks me up and takes me wherever I feel
And I race through the trees I bring space to her knees
I am the master of all that's flying by me

Look how far we've come, look how far
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car

Take me to tomorrow let me go on racing with the wind in my hair
And there's smoke in the air but I do not care
If you want me you will have to pass me

Look how far we've come, look how far
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car

Come to me baby we will leave this town it was not fit for a man
We'll find a new land but the traffic is jammed
I went far but I guess it's time for walking

Look how far we've come, look how far
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car

A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
A car, a car, my kingdom for a car
