The last chance texaco — текст песни (Rickie Lee Jones)

A long stretch of headlights
Bends into I-9
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
