Since ya left me gal

a\'ve tried

ta \'flush\' yer

mem\'ry, frum the

transmission 

uv ma broken heart---

 

In this Jiffy-Lube station

a loneliness ah stand,

an the dipstick uv

our love

jest keeps readin\'

thet we\'ze 

still a quart low.

 

ah still seeze yer

purty face;

yer still there,

like-en thet

squashed butterfly

on ma windshield

thet ma wipers

jest cain\'t seem

ta remove, completely--

 

this pickup truck a luv

thet we once knowed

\'fore ya 

split on me babe,

still needs 

a jumpstart every day.

 

when ah turn on ma

hearts air conditioner;

the pine tree

air refreshner

a hangin\' on ma

rear view mirror

uv life,

jiggles vigressly

always remindin\' me a you~
