Originally recorded by Warren's son Jordan for the "Enjoy Every Sandwich" tribute album,
this is a song that Warren wrote and never released. A demo, however,
can be heard on the posthumously released anthology "Preludes: Rare and Unreleased"

[Verse]
G D I left my home in Monterey, just another low prospects man Am Em I'd rather work in a foundry than put fishes in a can C G D I'm thirty-five and I haven't traveled far Am Em C And I've spent all my money on this misbegotten car Bm C I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind G Em C And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again Am G D C G My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again G G7 C A7 I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend D G C G D G But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
[Interlude]
G D I was speeding south on ninety-nine when the manifold started smokin' Am Em C I ran her off the shoulder, and now the axle's broken – G/B D It made a sound that cracked my heart in half Am Em C And with only half a half pint of vodka left Bm C/A I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind G Em C And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again Am G D C G My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again G G7 C A7 I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend D G C G D G But this damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again G Em C My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again Am G D C G My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again G G7 C A7 I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend D G C G D G But my damn Studebaker keeps on brea-king down again
