I broke your trust
And let you rust
So sorry my dear machine
Broken down to the muddy brown
What a dismal backyard scene

My dear machine’s been at it so long
Now it’s time for another drive
He’s gonna take me where I wanna go
Though I let him rust
My dear machine

And if I must I will adjust
My methods my dear machine
No more neglect
Don’t we respect
And the road that will never end

My dear machine’s been at it so long
Now it’s time for another drive
He’s gonna take me where I wanna go
Though I let him rust
My dear machine
My dear machine

My dear machine’s been at it so long
Now it’s time for another drive
Please can you take me where I want to go
Though I let you rust
My dear machine
My dear machine
My dear machine
My dear machine
