Another sad story or something like that
About the days of glory when times were fat
Suzie riding shotgun, Tracy in the back
Johnny’s too young, for something like that
There’s a war in the desert that’s got to be won
Going to buy me a pick up when this war is all done
Suzie begs him to stay home, have some fun
Johnny’s too young, but he’s got a gun
Out on the highway on a Saturday night
Passing it my way, but the driver stayed tight
Stoner’s on the highway with the music loud
Highway’s clear ahead cuz they just got plowed
Truck on the shoulder, it sure looks bad
Tracy in the corner crying sad
Heard a voice crying, “She’s all I had”
Johnny’s too young, to see the bad
Lights on a small bay, but the wipers fouled
Roger in the driveway, gunrack proud
Drove it in sideways thru a drunken crowd
Heading to the tavern, just to make it loud.
Hanging on the Johnny to leave a little stamp
Sliding to the music, she does another vamp
Tracy back with Tony, putting on an act
Another sad story or something like that
Back at the Dew Drop, Roger found the door
Finished off a double and had two more
Hanging on the tailgate, looking for the door
Shouldn’t be driving, if he couldn’t find the floor
Reaching around the front seat, bending Suzie’s ear
Tracy calling to her, Wind too loud to hear
Headlights on the highway and still drawing near
Passing in the turn lane, Hearts filled with fear
Didn’t see it coming, headed for the ditch
Red eyed demon killed a little witch
Wrong lane driving made a little switch
Saw the Lights coming, but couldn’t tell which
Tracy calls to Johnny, “pass on by!”
Flames on the highway, couldn’t tell why
Wicked seemed weary, Just gotta fly
Truck on the shoulder, cuz the engine died.
