The Last Chance Texaco Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones

A long stretch of headlights bends into I-9 

They tiptoe into truck stops 

And sleepy diesel eyes 

Volcanoes rumble in the taxi 

An' 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 

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 

Well, he tried to be standard 

He tried to be mobile 

He tried living in a world and in a shell 

There was this block busted blonde 

He loved her free parts and labor hood 

She broke down and died 

She threw all the rods that he gave her 

But this one ain't fuel injected 

Her plug is disconnected 

She gets scared and 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 

Pullin' out of the last chance Texaco 

The last chance
