Rickie Lee Jones - The Last Chance Texaco Lyrics
A long stretch of headlightsBends into i-9Tiptoe into truck stopsAnd sleepy diesel eyesVolcanoes rumble in the taxiAnd glow in the darkCamels in the drivers seatA slow, easy markBut you ran out of gasDown the road a pieceThen the battery went deadAnd now the cable wont reach...Its your last chanceTo check under the hoodLast chanceShe aint soundin too good,Your last chanceTo trust the man with the starYouve found the last chance texacoWell, he tried to be standardHe tries to be mobilHe tried living in a worldAnd in a shellThere was this block-busted blondeHe loved her - free parts and laborBut she broke down and diedAnd threw all the rods he gave herBut this one aint fuel-injectedHer plugs disconnectedShe gets scared and she stallsShe just needs a man, thats allIts her last chanceHer timings all wrongHer last chanceShe cant idle this longHer last chanceTurn her over and goPullin out of the last chance texacoThe last chance
