Somewhere south of Winslow the road went right and I went left
Nothin´ out my window but desert, dirt, and death
From outta nowhere stood an angel from up in the air
Sometimes that hot horizon plays tricks on you I swear

Oh, I picked her up

Sure enough that girl was real, sittin´ in my truck
Said I know a place called the Broken Wheel where we can try our luck
Five miles north of 66, behind old man Lester´s barn
Where the whisky flows and the money goes and the sherriff claims that he don´t know

Oh, here I go again, singin´

BANG BANG
That cell door´s closin´ in
BANG BANG
Here I go again
BANG BANG
Those chains around my legs
BANG BANG
This is where the highway ends

4 AM I was outta cash when she whispered in my ear
I got a gun and a plan, pull the truck up to the rear
Yeah it hit me like a tire tool right between the eyes
When the door flew open - she came out screamin´
DRIVE FOOL DRIVE!!!

Oh, here I go again singin´

BANG BANG
That cell door´s closin´ in
BANG BANG
Here I go again
BANG BANG
Those chains around my legs
BANG BANG
Yeah this is where the highway ends

Oh, blue lights in my eyes
Oh, I must´ve been outta my mind!

BANG BANG
That cell door´s closin´ in
BANG BANG
Here I go again
BANG BANG
Those chains around my legs
BANG BANG
This is where the highway ends

Here I go again

BANG BANG!
