Somebody Like Me
(The Car Blues)
Tom Demarest 6/21/08

Verse I:
I V I
Every woman needs to know somebody like me,
I V
A guy who understands what happens when you turn that key.
I
We might not come to mind when you’re hopin’ for a date,
IV7
But when you’re cryin’ on the shoulder of that Interstate,
I V I
We’re at the top of your list of the guys you’d love to see,

Refrain:
I IV I
Somebody like me, somebody like me.
I V
Everybody has a day when they need somebody like me.
I
You know “We can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em”
IV
Ole’ Hank said “there’s somethin’ mighty necessary ‘bout ‘em.”
I V I
When you get “Car Blues” you want somebody like me.


Verse II:
(V) I V I
Now our cars may be old but they do look pretty good,
I V
We can name and reach everything underneath that hood.
I
That doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the frills you got
IV7
But when you’re stuck out on the highway they don’t mean a lot.
I V I
Getting’ home is all you’re wantin, if you only could.
