Rickie Lee Jones - The Last Chance Texaco lyrics
[Rickie Lee Jones - The Last Chance Texaco lyrics]
A long stretch of headlights bends into I9
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
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
