The Last Chance Texaco

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A long stretch of headlights Bends into I-9 They tiptoe into truck stops And sleepy diesel eyes Volcanoes rumble in the taxi Glow in the dark Camels in the driver's seat A slow, easy mark [Pre-Chorus] But you ran out of gas Down the road a piece And then the battery went dead And now the cable won't reach... [Chorus] It's your last chance To check under the hood Your last chance She ain't soundin' too good Your last chance To trust the man with the star 'Cause you've found the last chance Texaco The last chance [Verse 2] Well, he tried to be Standard He tried 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 She threw all the rods that he gave her [Pre-Chorus] Ah, but this one ain't fuel-injected Her plug is disconnected She gets scared and she stalls She just needs a man, that's all [Chorus] 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
