A long stretch of headlights
|
Bends into I-9
|
Tiptoe into truck stops
|
And sleepy diesel eyes
|
Volcanoes rumble in the taxi
|
And glow in the dark
|
Camels in the driver's seat
|
A slow, easy mark
|
|
But you ran out of gas
|
Down the road a piece
|
Then the battery went dead
|
And now the cable won't reach...
|
|
It's your last chance
|
To check under the hood
|
Last chance
|
She ain't soundin' too good,
|
Your last chance
|
To trust the man with the star
|
You've found the last chance Texaco
|
|
Well, he tried to be Standard
|
He tries to be Mobil
|
He tried living in a world
|
And in a shell
|
There was this block-busted blonde
|
He loved her - free parts and labor
|
But she broke down and died
|
And threw all the rods he gave her
|
|
But this one ain't fuel-injected
|
Her plug's disconnected
|
She gets scared and she stalls
|
She just needs a man, that's all
|
|
It's her last chance
|
Her timing's all wrong
|
Her last chance
|
She can't idle this long
|
Her last chance
|
Turn her over and go
|
Pullin' out of the last chance texaco
|
The last chance
|
|
