If It Runs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I'm walking down the street
There's a lot of funny people to meet
Driving to and fro with a tortured mind
If there ain't no top on the bait
You can throw down a wrapper when you eat
Call me on the jail in the evening time

[Chorus]
'Cause my ride runs smooth when it's in the groove
Won't you hear me, granny? Mama, won't you call my name?
My headlights bright, it's plain to see
If it runs, it's good enough for me
[Verse 2]
I went walking downtown
There's a lot of funky people all around
Talking 'bout the way things used to be
There come a mighty rapping on the door
She fell all the way to the floor
The landlord had laid the law down and hear my plea
[Chorus]
'Cause my ride runs smooth when it's in the groove
Won't you hear me, granny? Mama, won't you call my name?
My headlights bright, it's plain to see
If it runs, it's good enough for me

[Verse 3]
I went walking out the back door, honey
When the revenuer man came down
Stubbed my toe on the bottom of my walking cane
I drag fifty pounds of feed store corn
'Til my clothes get ratty and torn
Won't you hear me, granny? Mama, won't you call my name?

[Chorus]
'Cause my ride runs smooth when it's in the groove
Won't you hear me, granny? Mama, won't you call my name?
My headlights bright, it's plain to see
If it runs, it's good enough for me
