Well, I had the carburetor, baby, cleaned and checked with her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet |
|
Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks for a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks |
|
Took her down to the carwash, check the plugs and points |
|
Well, I'm goin' out tonight. I'm gonna rock that joint |
|
|
|
Early north Jersey industrial skyline I'm a all-set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime |
|
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone this turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone |
|
Gotta hit the gas, baby. I'm running late, this New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape |
|
|
|
Now, the boss don't dig me, so he put me on the nightshift |
|
It's an all night run to get back to where my baby lives |
|
In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy radio relay towers, won't you lead me to my baby? |
|
Underneath the overpass, trooper hits his party light switch |
|
Goodnight good luck one two power shift |
|

I met Wanda when she was employed behind the counter at route 60 Bob's Big Boy Fried Chicken on the front seat, she's sittin' in my lap |
|
We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap |
|
I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill with them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still |
|
|
|
Well, at five a.m., oil pressure's sinkin' fast |
|
I make a pit stop, wipe the windshield, check the gas |
|
Gotta call my baby on the telephone |
|
Let her know that her daddy's comin' on home |
|
Sit tight, little mama, I'm comin' 'round I got three more hours, but I'm coverin' ground |
|
|
|
Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers |
|
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations lost souls callin' long distance salvation |
|
Hey, mister deejay, woncha hear my last prayer hey, ho, rock'n'roll, deliver me from nowhere |
