Electric Car

from The Prairie by Tom Brosseau

lyrics

I saw one on the road today, just outside of town
Going about 55 without making any kind of sound
The brand new electric car has hit the lots
And everyone is wondering how they run

Clean and easy sailing, every single mile
And when you get low, stop and connect it for a-while
The brand new electric car has hit the lots
And everyone is wondering how they run

Long ago, when we first had a digital clock hanging high on the wall
My grandfather smiled, and said, Time to throw away that peg and awl
The brand new electric car has hit the lots
And everyone is wondering how they run

So, come down and get yours, it doesn't matter how much you make
Both federal and state are gonna be there to give you a little break
The brand new electric car has hit the lots
And everyone is wondering how they run
