A long stretch of headlights bend into I9
They tiptoe into truck stops
And sleepy diesel eyes
Volcanoes rumble in the taxi, glow in the dark
Camels in the driver's seat
A slow, easy mark
ย
But you ran out of gas
Down the road, a piece
And then the battery went dead
And now the cable won't reach
It's your last chance
To check under the hood
Your last chance
She ain't soundin' too good
Your last chance
To trust the man with the star
'Cause you've found the last chance Texaco
The last chance!
ย
Well, you tried to be Standard
You tried to be Mobil
You tried living in a world and in a shell
ย
There was this block-busted blonde
He loved her free parts of labor
But she broke down and died
She threw all the rods that he gave her
Oh, but this one ain't fuel-injected
Her plug is disconnected
She gets scared and she stalls
She just needs a man, that's all
It's her last chance!
Her timing's all wrong
Her last chance
She can't idle this long!
Her last chance
Turn her over and go!
Pullin' out of the last chance Texaco
The last chance
