BENADRYL BORTLES - POTHOLE FUNK BLUES (1976) (LOST 70's HITS)

YOU ALL KNOW THAT ROAD THAT MIGHT KILL YOUR CAR EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE ON IT. DON'T TRY TO FOOL ME!
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Oh, for fuck's sake, here I am again in my rusty Geo Metro ride,
Godforsaken roads, where potholes hide,
Cruisin' along, thinkin' it's all fine,
BAM! Earth swallows my car every goddamn time.
[Flute Trills]
Not just a bump, it's a goddamn chasm,
Shockwaves through my soul, causing a spasm,
Duct tape and willpower, barely holdin' tight,
Old man arthritis, groanin' through the night.
[CHORUS]
Pothole fuckin' blues in my rusty Geo Metro,
Shakin' loose this piece of shit, holdin' on,
Every bump's a kick in the balls, oh,
Prayin' my ride won't be gone.
Rusty dreams on a goddamn crater road,
City streets, a shitshow battle zone,
Geo Metro, what the fuck, hear my plea,
Survive this ride, and set me free.
[More Flute]
[Verse 2]
Every trip's a roll of dice in this tin can ride,
Prayin' to clunker gods, hopin' to survive,
Hit a pothole, Grim Reaper's jackhammer delight,
Rusty bucket o' bolts, barely runs, it’s a constant fuckin fight.
[Flute Trills]
Rust creeps like a plague, muffler garglin' nails,
Universe kicks my teeth, suspension wails,
Car screams, "Why the fuck this brutal path?"
No choice, just prayin', feelin' the wrath.
[CHORUS]
Pothole fuckin' blues in my rusty Geo Metro,
Shakin' loose this piece of shit, holdin' on,
Every bump's a kick in the balls, oh,
Prayin' my ride won't be gone.
Rusty dreams on a goddamn crater road,
City streets, a shitshow battle zone,
Geo Metro, what the fuck, hear my plea,
Survive this ride, and set me free.
[SPOKEN]
What really chaps my ass is the utter absurdity of these potholes. Are we living in a third-world country or what? It’s like the city officials think we all drive goddamn monster trucks. Meanwhile, my Geo Metro, which weighs less than a toddler, takes each hit like a gut punch from a heavyweight champion. The alignment is now more fucked up than a drunkard’s walk home, and the steering has a mind of its own, pulling me toward the next pothole like some masochistic magnet. I’ve got to blow my hard-earned cash on repairs for this decrepit piece of shit, while the roads remain a post-apocalyptic nightmare. All I ask is for a smooth drive without my car trying to disintegrate under me. Until then, I'll be here, cursing the gods of road maintenance, navigating this surreal urban hellscape, and hoping my Geo Metro makes it through another fucking day.
[Flute Solo]
[OUTRO]
Pothole fuckin' blues in my rusty Geo Metro,
Shakin' loose this piece of shit, holdin' on,
Every bump's a kick in the balls, oh,
Prayin' my ride won't be gone.
Ohhh Prayin my ride won't be gone...
Prayin' my ride won't be gone...
