Hank Locklin Lyrics
"Foreign Car"

(Lawton Williams)

There's nothin' in the world
That pleases me
Like a pretty little girl
From across the sea.

But I think that I went a little too far
I got myself a foreign car
'Cause you can't get in and you can't get out
Unless you do some squirmin' about.

Maybe you're not a lover but in case you are
You can't do much lovin' in a foreign car
You can fill up the tank and drive all day
On a gallon of gas you'll go a long, long way.

But if it's a love buggy you're looking for
Don't waste your time in a foreign car
'Cause you don't have a room for your heart to beat
All crowded up in a bucket seat.

With, the pretty moon a shinin' up among the stars
Love shouldn't have to suffer in a foreign car.

--- Instrumental ---

Take a ride with me tonight after dark
See the little foreign buggys down in the park
I can't figure out what they go there for
You can't make love in a foreign car.

Cause you don't have a room for your heart to beat
All crowded up in a bucket seat.
With the pretty moon a shinin' up among the stars
Love shouldn't have to suffer in a foreign car...
