Rickie Lee Jones The Last Chance Texaco lyrics

Long stretch of headlights that bend into I-9
The tiptoe into truck stop, sleepy diesel eyes
Volcanoes that 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 and
Then the battery went dead and this cables don't reach

It's your last chance to check under your hood
It's your 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, the last chance

Well he tried to be standard, he tried to be Mobil

He tried living in a world and in a shell
Got a block busted blonde and he loved her, free parts and labor
She broke down and died and threw all the rods he gave her
This one ain't fuel-injected and her plug's are disconnected
She gets scared, she stalls but 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
You're pullin' out of the last chance Texaco, the last chance
