Somewhere south of Winslow the road went right and I went left Nothin' out my window but desert, dirt, and death From outta nowhere stood an angel from up in the air Sometimes that hot horizon plays tricks on you I swear
Oh, I picked her up
Sure enough that girl was real, sittin' in my truck Said I know a place called the Broken Wheel where we can try our luck Five miles north of 66, behind old man Lester's barn Where the whisky flows and the money goes and the sherriff claims that he don't know
Oh, here I go again, singin'
BANG BANG That cell door's closin' in BANG BANG Here I go again BANG BANG Those chains around my legs BANG BANG This is where the highway ends
4 AM I was outta cash when she whispered in my ear I got a gun and a plan, pull the truck up to the rear Yeah it hit me like a tire tool right between the eyes When the door flew open - she came out screamin' DRIVE FOOL DRIVE!!!
