Well
|
He took his first release
|
On a highway
|
In a 1953 green Chevrolet
|
An he was carryin and awful load
|
For just a 15 year old
|
'Til he laid his mind
|
On the center line
|
An turned up the radio
|
Goin a hundred miles an hour
|
Down the blue asphaltum line
|
Listenin to the Wolfman of Del Rio
|
An
|
He didn't give a damn
|
About the trouble he was in
|
Yeah deep down in his soul
|
He just wanted?o go
|
An you can tell by the look on his face
|
He's all caught up with the need
|
To trade in some emptied out spaces
|
For some speeeeeeed
|
An that good ol' American Dream
|
|
An
|
She took her first release
|
On the back seat
|
Of a 1961 black V-8 Ford
|
An she just give up al control
|
On that vinyl tuck-and-roll
|
Breathin hard
|
With a dark-eyed boy
|
That she barely even knowed
|
Goin a hundred miles an hour
|
Down the blue asphaltum line
|
Listenin to the Wolfman of Del Rio
|
An
|
She didn't give a damn
|
About the trouble she'd get in
|
Yeah deep down in her soul
|
She just wanted?o flow
|
An you can tell by the paint on her face
|
She's all made-up for the need
|
To trade in some emptied out places
|
For some speeeeeeed
|
An that good ol' American Dream
|
|
An
|
Now they circle one another
|
Armed with the lives from their past
|
An
|
They fight to the death for their lies
|
'Til the bad feelings pass
|
Then they sit
|
An they smoke
|
An they drink
|
An they talk an talk an talk an talk
|
And then they stalk around
|
Like they're lookin for something they've lost
|
But can never again be found
|
And it's crazy
|
Yeah crazy in the backyards
|
the bedrooms
|
the kitchens
|
Crazy out in the streets
|
Ahhh
|
Through all their cities
|
And even smaller towns
|
An
|
It most certainly seems
|
Some disease of the dreams
|
Has been goin 'round
|
Yes
|
It most certainly seems
|
Some disease of the dreams
|
Has been goin 'round
|
Goin a hundred miles an hour
|
Down the blue asphaltum line
|
Listenin to the Wolfman of Del Rio
