My take when someone starts one of these threads is that the song should have
something vaguely related to driving or moving.
This one is always near the top of my short list.
How can you beat lyrics like this? LOL
"Eight-track machine playing 'Half Moon Bay'
Drivin' in my Volks down on Hamstead Way
Her mother got bust on a 88
And her brother got stuck on my number plate
Hey mister bartender won't you gimme some wine
I gotta get outta town, meet my baby on time
He put five gallons in my petrol tank
You know we just about made it but her breath sure stank yeah"
Album cut with appropriate video.

Someone found a live performance. Amazing how this old stuff keeps surfacing. Unfortunately, it's got Ariel Bender and not Mick Ralphs. And there is Hunter's amazingly tacky pawn shop find H guitar.
American pawn, IIRC.
