We've been goin', I've never been at ease
I met a gypsie girl and took her on the track
The kinda girl walk
The driver don´t talk
20 bucks between them just to keep them alive

Blacktop rollin'

We're goin', goin' to Amarillo
A zero to a sixty, in a seven point five
A model and a bagel steels California
A glass of a beer, a scotch of a rat
