Lyrics
There was gasoline
And money to burn
There were hills on fire
Around the next turn
Took Tehachapi
To State 99
Right at Bakersfield
And right out of time
They were two people
In a car on a road
They were not yet in love
But they were betrothed
To the hills burning
To the infinite sky
To their engine
And its singing
He was bad for her
She might have been worse
They were movie stars
Who never rehearsed
Racing F-16s
Through China Lake
Only smithereens
Were left in their wake
Two people
In a car on a road…
In the desert where
The rod and the staff
Give no comfort
But you sure can laugh
At the Devil there
In his valley of death
Drive it so damn fast
He can’t catch his breath
Two people
In a car on a road…
