Oh!
Driving through the canyon after dusk
With you by my side, the only one I trust
Blue hair blowin' in the hot sunset
With a six-gun by your side in a '65 corvette
A brown case full of not a damn thing but cash
Last thing we heard your father say was, "You'd better watch your ass!"
But the sherriff's posse ain't caught us yet
Out-of-state plates on a '65 corvette
Go!
The desert nights are dark and cold
But I got bourbon and my girl
There's not a place I wouldn't go
With you, across this goddamn world
And we set out for the river at the break of dawn
A rude awake from the sun unbearably strong
But your fingers caressing my aching head
Riding getaway shotgun in a '65 corvette
The desert days are terribly hot
When monsoon lightning rakes the sky
As if a warning from the gods,
"Get out now, or die!"
It's all for you
It's all I do
the car, the cash, the guns, the bourbon too
It's all for you
To see you through
The lightning, heat, and desert sky never needed a better reason why!
Oh, no...
Up ahead the road appears to split
One way dark tunnels, the other dangerous cliffs
Hear the sirens screaming in my head
Red lights flash in the bumper chrome of a '65 corvette
This is goodbye, but it's not death!
You held 'em off, and I-- I turned my back on the West
So roll me up one last cigarette
And see if these fuckers can keep up with me in my '65 corvette
And the forest nights are dark and cold
Spending every one alone
Desert sunlight haunts my dreams
Buried in cold December snow
City nights are terribly hot
Tossing, turning, drenched in sweat
Just one picture's all I got,
Of you and me and that '65 corvette
