[Verse 1] I got a wrench in my back pocket And grease on my jeans Two trucks in the driveway Both got busted dreams One needs a water pump One needs a new brake line But the county line’s an hour away And I’m punchin’ town time [Verse 2] The feed store sells a battery And a can of old ether But the parts I really need Ain’t sittin’ on that shelf neither I asked the man at Johnson’s He just laughed and shook his head Said, “Buddy, you’re fixin’ farm rigs With a hardware-store spread” [Pre-Chorus] I can hear that engine call me From the edge of my yard But I’m locked up downtown Like a dog in a parked car [Chorus] Stuck in town Stuck in town Need a bolt, need a belt But I’m stuck in town Stuck in town Stuck in town Got the hood up in my mind And I’m stuck in town [Verse 3] There’s a red dirt road out yonder Where my tools oughta be There’s a socket set and a hay shed And a cold beer waitin’ for me But I’m behind a stoplight Watchin’ time crawl by While my old Ford sits there coughin’ On the other side [Pre-Chorus] I can hear that engine call me From the edge of my yard But I’m locked up downtown Like a dog in a parked car [Chorus] Stuck in town Stuck in town Need a bolt, need a belt But I’m stuck in town Stuck in town Stuck in town Got the hood up in my mind And I’m stuck in town [Bridge] Tonight I’ll borrow my brother’s trailer Might tow it home by dawn Then I’ll work till the porch light’s gone And get that old truck on [Final Chorus] Stuck in town Stuck in town Need a bolt, need a belt But I’m stuck in town Stuck in town Stuck in town Got the hood up in my mind And I’m stuck in town
