Lyrics
A long stretch of headlights
That bends into I-9
Tiptoe into truck stops
And sleepy diesel eyes
Volcanoes that rumble in the taxi
And glow in the dark
Camels in the driver's seat
A slow, easy mark
But you ran out of gas
Down the road, a piece
And your battery went dead
And these cables don't reach
It's your last chance
You check under your hood
It's your last chance
She ain't soundin' too good
Your last chance
To trust the man with the star
You've found the last chance Texaco
The last chance
Well, he tried to be Standard
He tries to be Mobil
He tried living in a World
And in a Shell
He had a block-busted blonde
Loved her free parts and labor
She broke down and died
And threw all the rods he gave her
This one ain't fuel injected
Her plug's at disconnected
She gets scared and she stalls
But 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
Yeah, yeah
