lyrics

I drove for seven days
‘Til I hit dust and gravel
It was high time to get away
From that corner where I
Where I saw you, I saw you
Running loose and untame
You had the mark of the blues
I had the mark of the maimed

Now you’ve got me in a spin
And I can’t set myself right again

I drove for seven days
‘Til I hit the Steese Highway
‘Til I couldn’t see back
To that corner where you
Where you set your little snare
Made of plastic and tin
I saw something shiny there
And I rolled right in

Now you’ve got me in a spin
And I can’t myself right again
You poured sugar in my engine
You poured sugar in my engine

I drove for seven days
‘Til I hit dust and gravel
