Songwriter with potential country hit seeks musician(s) who can sing...

lyrics

Woman trouble is bad, empty pad can drive you mad
Be she a doctor or a nurse
You rage or feign civility —at least you got mobility
Woman trouble is bad but car trouble is worse.

Those female probs can self-correct, like Aretha said respect
can be all it takes to lift the curse
Mechanic, though, comes on the scene Wit' de credit card machine
woman trouble is bad but car trouble is worse.

And everybody's singin' bout their poor broken heart
They're poor because it costs so much to replace their broken part

Could be the starter motor, distributor, alternator rotor
Do you hear a clunk when you shift into reverse?
You probe underneath the hood, you wish in vain you understood
Woman trouble bad but car trouble worse.

Yes, your fancy four-wheel drive gets stuck, your SUV, your pick-up truck
break down, so do the limo and the hearse
just when you think you can coast or when you need your ride the most
woman trouble is bad but car trouble is worse

and some say no way you can compare these two deals
I say ask the man who's had to go without wheels

Happiness is but a bubble, a rubber tube on an old VW
in time even trusty items burst
You kneel and pray to Triple-A, you cannot drive yourself away
Woman trouble is bad —second baddest, very sad—
woman trouble is bad but car trouble is worse.
