My Starter Won't Start
Trouble Under the Hood: Hank Jr.'s Fast Lane Blues
Lyrics
Yeah, now, starter won't start this mornin'
Experiencing difficulty starting the engine in the morning
My motor won't even turn
The engine is not responding, not turning over
My starter won't start this mornin'
Reiterating the issue with the starter in the morning
My motor won't even turn
Emphasizing that the motor is not turning
I've been runnin' with a fast class of women
Indicates involvement with a group of fast and possibly troublesome women
Caused my little car to ruin
Suggests that the association with these women has led to the deterioration of the car
Yeah, my starter won't start this mornin'
Repeating the difficulty with the starter in the morning
Somethin' must be wrong with my machine
Speculating that there might be an issue with the overall car system
My starter won't start this mornin'
Reiterating the problem with the starter
Somethin' must be wrong with my machine
Suggesting that something is wrong with the car's machinery
Mechanic said, "The car's alright son, you've been burnin' cheap gasoline"
Quoting a mechanic who claims the car is fine but blames cheap gasoline
Yes, I have
Acknowledging the use of cheap gasoline
Yeah, my starter won't start this mornin'
Repeating the issue with the starter
My carburetor must be stuck
Suggesting a problem with the carburetor
My starter won't start this mornin'
Reiterating the starting problem in the morning
My carburetor must be stuck
Emphasizing a potential issue with the carburetor
She said "Thunderhead, your Cadillac ain't goin' nowhere
Quoting a woman ("She") stating that the car won't go anywhere and suggesting to take the bus
You gon' have to ride the bus"
Indicating a need to ride the bus as the Cadillac is not functional
Well, I can do that too
Expressing acceptance of the suggestion to ride the bus
Yeah, my starter won't start this mornin'
Reiterating the difficulty with the starter in the morning
No, my motor won't even turn
Confirming that the motor is not turning
No, my starter won't start this mornin'
Restating the problem with the starter
Boy, my motor won't even turn
Affirming that the motor is still not turning
I've been runnin' with a fast class of women
Repeating the association with fast women and its negative impact on the Cadillac
Caused my Cadillac to ruin
Emphasizing the consequence of running with a particular group of women
You know that does happen
Acknowledging the inevitability of facing consequences
Got to slow down sometime
Concluding that there is a need to slow down at times
