Trans Am

Trans Am



The wagons in the valley

had pulled up for the night

Seth said

"go get the plow out Merle,

this place looks just right"

By then they were surrounded,

by dawn they all were dead

I heard this from

the old Trans Am,

up the road ahead

That cowboy just kept talking,

I thought I heard him say

He used to ride the Santa Fe

before the tracks were laid



Trans Am



A nasty wind was blowing

through the gates of Eden Park

One was swinging

and one was hanging,

and the street lights all were dark

It crawled along the boulevard

with two wheels on the grass

That old Trans Am was dying hard,

but still had lots of gas

The golden gate was open wide,

the sun came shining through

Where once

the angels stood and cried

everything was new



Trans Am



Global manufacturing,

hands across the sea

The hotel filled with dealers,

everything was free

Before the competition,

ahead of all the rest

The product was presented,

it clearly was the best

The power link was ruptured,

the hotel shook and rolled

The old Trans Am

just bounced around

and took another road



Trans Am



An old friend showed up at the door

The mile posts flying by

He said come on, I said what for

He said I'll show you why

I got a call from north of here

They said some girl's broke down

There's good money in it

for you and me

If we can get her back to town

She's somewhere north of Barstow

Lost on 66

An old Trans Am

by the side of the road

That needs a headlight fixed
