Fred Eaglesmith - 6 Volts

Six Volts

Six volts and 12 volts
Couldn't get it started this morning
The cables were sparking
And I had them on backwards
I burned my fingers

I saw you and that guy
When I finally went by
You were smoking cigarettes
And drinking black coffee
And how did I know?
How did I know?

My clutches are slipping
The carbon gets in my throat and I choke
You get out on the passenger side
I swallow my pride
The radiator's raging like a murderer
Only God can bend tempered steel

How did I know?
How did I know?

Straight off the line
Your dress was gun-metal blue
You turned and you waved at a face in the crowd
I burned my fingers
Something choked the life
And it sputtered and died
I crushed my hand on God's tempered steel

How did I know?
How did I know?
How did I know?
How did I know?
