Jankwagon Lyrics by Tall Travis

Witness This!

2023

I always apologize
About my car when I give people rides
Driving this junk heap this long
I dunno how I survived
I got it from my father
He got it from his mom
It’s older than my sister and I break my bank to fix it
When inevitably something goes wrong
Jankwagon won’t you keep on running for me
Don’t break down today, don’t break down
I’ve got a hundred miles to drive away
Don’t break down today, don’t break down
Ol janky took a hit in twenty-twelve
My dad he didn't treat it well
He left his wetsuit in the back still wet all day
And crashed and broke a quarter panel
He replaced it himself and he never got to painting it
So last summer I thought It’d be a good plan
To grab some friends and some house paint, draw some mountains and a lake
An anarchist “A” and a frog man
Nowadays I meet people, they say “oh you’re the guy
With the hippie color painted sedan”
I never meant to be notorious but I think it looks glorious
And I’ll drive it for as long as I can
Jankwagon won’t you keep on running for me
Don’t break down today, don’t break down
I’ve got a hundred miles to drive away
Don’t break down today, don’t break down
Oh there’s memories
In the cracks between the seats
There’s still peanut crumbs that my dad left behind
Each CD in each case
Denotes a time and place
These certain moments would be gone if my car didn’t remind
Like this ribbon hanging down
I don’t explain why it’s around
I guess I picked it up on a night almost a freezing as
That fateful night of our first date
I asked “can I kiss you Jane?”
You leaned across the seat.. that carried me to where we are today
Jankwagon won’t you keep on running for me
Don’t break down today, don’t break down
I’ve got a hundred miles to drive away
Don’t break down today, don’t break down
