G       D         Am     C 
I’m a mechanic by trade 
G                    D             Am         C  
Cars and trucks both foreign and domestically made 
          G                   D                  Am          C  
Aren’t confusing when they’re moving but they’ll drive you insane  
          G     D  Am  C   
When they ain‘t 
 
Drivers I am sorry to say 
Usually eluding me in a similar way 
I don’t blame them they’re same when I explain the delay 
To their day.  
 
CHORUS: 
    Em 
Sometimes when I sleep  
  B7  
I dream that I’m seeing the  
C 
World through headlights 
G 
Highway in sight 
Em 
When I’m awake 
    B7  
I’m almost afraid of the 
C                Am7               G 
Rear view mirror leaning nearer to say 
G      D           G  
Drive away, drive away 
 
I can fix your automobile 
Buy a set of tires and I’ll align your wheels 
Not to mention the suspension, check wires and seals 
It’s a hell of a deal.  
 
Chorus 2: 
Spending every day  
Feeling nothing but pale  
But I’m defending  
And when I’m asleep 
I dream that I’m seeing  
The world through headlights asking if it’s alright to stay 
Drive away, drive away. 
 
I’m a mechanic by trade 
Cars and trucks both foreign and domestically made  
Aren’t confusing when they’re moving but they’ll drive you insane  
When they ain‘t, when they ain’t
