15 Can't Get Me No Traction (Michael Dotson on vocals)

I can’t get me no traction
wheels spinnin’ round and round
I can’t get me no traction
wheels spinnin’ round and round
I keep slippin’ and a’slidin’
makin’ a lonesome sound

Well if this red clay was blacktop
I’d cruise for mile after mile
Well if this red clay was blacktop
I’d cruise for mile after mile
Instead this car keeps sinkin’ down
around this hard luck child

I can’t get me no traction
ain’t got no place to go
I can’t get me no traction

ain’t got no place to go
I must have took me a wrong turn
many miles ago.

Where this road done run out
people I don’t even know
Where this road done run out
people I don’t even know
Well temperature start to droppin’
Darkness comin’ on slow

Goin to Holland, gonna play in France
goin to Cleveland to make the people dance
traveled all over people that’s for sure
(blues got me) …
comin’ and a’goin’ got me

uhh … comin’ and a goin’ got me
comin’ and a’goin’ got me
uhh … comin and gone

I got a notion that I just can’t prove
blues is a feelin’ ain’t nuthin’ but a groove
it sends you sky high just to let you down
(blues got me) …
comin’ and a’goin’ got me
uhh … comin’ and a goin’ got me
comin’ and a’goin’ got me
uhh … comin and gone
