Lost My Driving Wheel

Written by David Wiffen

Performed by Cowboy Junkies



収録アルバム
Various/Born To Choose
1993,Rykodisc



 カウボーイ・ジャンキーズ/Lost My Driving Wheel の初出は,Black Eyed Man日本盤のボーナス・トラック(1992)。

 次が"中絶の権利"に光を当てた本アルバム。

 カウボーイ・ジャンキーズ名義のアルバムでは Selected Studio Recordings 1986-1995(1996)に初めて収録された。

 カウボーイ・ジャンキーズ は 同じカナダの先輩 Tom Rush の演奏 (1970)を参考にしているとみられる。





 英国からカナダに移り住んで活動中の作者 David Wiffenの新旧の録音のうち,Tom Rush よりも一年遅れて発表されたほう(1971)を音質に目をつぶって,あげておく。

 なお,トム・ラッシュ,デイヴィッド・ウィフィン版とも,タイトルは "Driving Wheel"となっている。





Just came up on the midnight special
Hey, how 'bout that
My car broke down in Texas
she stopped dead in her tracks
Just called to tell you that I need you
Just called to tell you how I feel

I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

They took my money on the night train north
What a terrible thing
I gave my promise that I will be there with you
by Saturday night
I want to tell you that I need you
I need to tell you how I feel

I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

You can't say much in a phone call, babe
You know how it is
I have to tell you one sure thing
Oh, won't you listen to this
I want to tell you that I love you, babe
I want to tell you just how I feel

I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
Some old engine that's lost my driving wheel

I feel like some old engine that's lost my driving wheel
