Thread Name: Lyr Req:: Don't Let Me Die In My Car
Subject: LYR REQ: Don't Let Me Die In My Car
Song sung as comic relief during John Lincoln Wright shows in the 70s-80s in Cambridge Mass, because dying in your car is funny around here.
Song is probably by Larry Flint, that's Boston's Larry Flint, not that other guy.
Flint is responsible for a song whose words I *do* have, you can find it on the internet: "Living In Braintree With You In Methuen Is Almost Like Living In Lowell".
Anyway, I need the verses to "Car".
The bridge/chorus goes:
Everybody has something Of which they are especially afraid Maybe its rapists* in the park Maybe its muggers after dark But L-rd give me one thing Just give me one thing
Don't let me wind up On route 16 "Auto plunged into ravine" Just give me one thing Don't let me die in my car
Local people will note that there are actually no ravines on the awful parts of route 16, at least I don't think so, but you could get forced into the Mystic (another song, to which I know all the words).
*I will change this to sing it because rapists aren't funny.
