Somewhere south of Winslow the road went right and I went left
Nothin' out my window but desert, dirt, and death
From outta nowhere stood an angel from up in the air
Sometimes that hot horizon plays tricks on you I swear
Oh, I picked her up
Sure enough that girl was real, sittin' in my truck
Said I know a place called the Broken Wheel where we can try our luck
Five miles north of 66, behind old man Lester's barn
Where the whisky flows and the money goes and the sherriff claims that he don't know
Oh, here I go again, singin'
BANG BANG
That cell door's closin' in
BANG BANG
Here I go again
BANG BANG
Those chains around my legs
BANG BANG
This is where the highway ends
4 AM I was outta cash when she whispered in my ear
I got a gun and a plan, pull the truck up to the rear
Yeah it hit me like a tire tool right between the eyes
When the door flew open - she came out screamin'
DRIVE FOOL DRIVE!!!
Oh, here I go again singin'
BANG BANG
That cell door's closin' in
BANG BANG
Here I go again
BANG BANG
Those chains around my legs
BANG BANG
Yeah this is where the highway ends
Oh, blue lights in my eyes
Oh, I must've been outta my mind!
BANG BANG
That cell door's closin' in
BANG BANG
Here I go again
BANG BANG
Those chains around my legs
BANG BANG
This is where the highway ends
