Thanks for adding tags, Karlos. I got this in under the gun and immediately had to run to a rehearsal. No time for adding all the tags!
The stompbox is a little wooden wedge-shaped box that my Medicine Bone bandmate and good buddy Ken Shima made for me. It's just got a cheap piezo pickup in it, nothing fancy. I run it through a BOSS graphic EQ pedal, pumping the bass only. Well, that's what I did for this. Sometimes I cut the bass and bring up mids or highs, depending...
I usually post a link to a photo of the diddley bow, whenever I post a tune that uses it, so, I guess I'll do that again here.

I love how insistent the rythym is on this-- driving, you might say, in keeping with the challenge theme. The whole thing is just very tight.

Lyrics:
WATCHED YOU DRIVE AWAY
i watched you drive away in your car
i turned and walked back into the bar
i been a-drinking ever since that day
aw baby why'd you have to drive away
i watched you drive away in your car
ain't no telling baby, no telling where you are
y'used to take me out on a sunday drive
i felt so happy just to be alive
i used to fill up your tank with gas
anything you wanted you just had to ask
i watched you drive away in your car
ain't no telling baby, no telling where you are
i'm going crazy
like a man without a driving wheel
you'd come back to me baby
if you knew just how i feel
i hope you'll come back n'make everything alright
i listen out for your car every night
but i'm saving my nickels, n'i'm trying to get a loan
i'm gonna get myself a car of my own
i watched you drive away in your car
ain't no telling baby, no telling where you are

What are you using for the stompbox?
(I added challenge tags to this!)
