Lyrics

She came from Alabama
She was a young girl with your dreams and young skin too
It was her first time to the city
It was her first she knew what evil could do
Don't know why she'd taken that wrong turn
In the alley he was waiting there for her
Her heart was barely beating
And her young skin had aged instantly the night

And all that time she had never got his name
All she knew is that he drove a Brown Fairlane

He drove to Kansas City
He was heading west and only stopped for beer
Priorities are absent when you're a man with nothing left to fear
Bags of cash and wallets that weren't his
Stolen goods from souls with more to live
He'd walked into that diner and let nine rounds go all in a single breath
Five were in the windows and the other four had caused their sudden death

And all that time no one ever got his name
All they knew was that he drove a Brown Fairlane

Sitting back I couldn't believe my ears
Still no leads the hunts been on for years
A man can only run so far in this land
This time the law was in my hands

I tracked him down to Reno
It seems to be where all the villains go
I sunk down to his level. Befriended him and put on quite a show
He told me things I wish I never heard
I knew then those would be his last words
I said I'd get the car. He hit the curb and waited for his ride
So I put the hammer down and drove that Fairlane right between his eyes

And all that time I had never got his name
All I knew thing would never be the same
'Who did this' they asked and never got my name
All they knew is that I drove a Brown Fairlane.
