I neglected to talk about it's meaning. It seems to be a song similar to "Trampled Underfoot" by Led Zep.
Here's from Wikipedia
"Terraplane Blues" is a blues song recorded 1936 in San Antonio, Texas by legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. The car model Terraplane becomes a metaphor for sex. In the lyrical narrative, the car will not start and Johnson suspects that his girlfriend let another man drive it when he was gone. In describing the various mechanical problems with his Terraplane, Johnson creates a setting of thinly-veiled sexual innuendo.
Like many of Johnson's songs, "Terraplane Blues" is a staple in many blues musicians' repertoires and has been recorded by dozens of traditional and contemporary blues figures, including Mickey Baker, Rory Block, Canned Heat, Eric Clapton, Foghat, Peter Green, John Hammond, Jr., John Lee Hooker, Robert Lockwood Jr., Tony McPhee, Elliott Murphy, Lonnie Pitchford, Roy Rogers.
