Lyrics

Loaded up the car, destination L.A.
Filled her up - and was on my way
Got down the road and the engine quit
Started getting angry and throwing a fit
Sold the car and everything I couldn't carry
Right then and there life got alittle hairy

Standing on the side of I-44
Thumb in the air - hoping for more
Up pulls a man ina big caddilac
Tells me to throw my bag in the back
What happened after that was a fright
Thought I was gonna have to fight for my life

Got picked up on hwy 41
Couple of folks just having fun
Went to the desert had a few beers
Instinct told me I had something to fear
Dropped me off in the middle of the night
No hwy near, no town in sight

Picked up by a soldier on hwy 10
Heading to a place I've never been
A naval base around east L.A.
Said I'm in trouble, But what he wouldn't say
He got in the back, and I drove all night
Got him back in time, he didn't pay the price
