00:00Well, I had the carburetor, baby, cleaned and checked
00:13With her line blown out, she's humming like a turbo jet
00:16Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks
00:20For a new clutch, played in a new set of shocks
00:23Took her down to the car wash, checked the plugs and points
00:27Well, I'm going out tonight, I'm gonna rock and join
00:31Early North Jersey, industrial skyline, I'm at all set
00:36Cobra jet creeping through the night turn
00:38Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone that's turned back
00:43Sure spooky at night, when you're all alone
00:45I gotta hit the gas, babe, I'm running late
00:49It's New Jersey in the morning like a lunar landscape
00:53While the boss don't dig me, so he put me on the night shift
01:00Takes me two hours, they get back to where my baby lives
01:04In the wee, wee hours, your mind gets crazy
01:07Radio relay towers, won't you lead me to my baby
01:11Need you overpass, the trooper hits a party light switch
01:14Good night, good luck, one, two, power shift
01:19I met old Wanda when she was employed
01:25Behind the counter at the Route 60
01:27Bob's big boy, fried chicken on the front seat
01:30Sitting on my lap, whirl-wiping our fingers
01:34On a Texaco road map
01:36I remember Wanda on a scrap metal hill with a big crown
01:41I said, make your heart stand still
01:44I said, hell, hell, it's high, there ain't no pressure
02:00Sinking fast, gotta make a pit stop like a windshield
02:04Check the gas, gotta call my baby on the telephone
02:09Let her know that her daddy's coming on home
02:13Sit tight, little mama, I'm coming round
02:17I got three more hours, but I'm covering ground
02:20Your eyes get itchy in the wee, wee hours
02:24Sun's a red bar rising over them refinery towers
02:28Radio's jammed up with gospel stations
02:32Lost souls, called them long-distance salvation
02:36Hey, Mr. DJ, won't you hear my last prayer?
02:40Hey-ho, rock'n'roll, deliver me nowhere
02:43Hey-ho, rock'n'roll, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
