you gotta roll when you think it won't roll no more
you gotta pump it up when it's flat
you gotta check it where the rubber meets the road
if it's a geo or a cadillac
you can't whine when the siren finds you
you can't fake it when the fuel is gone
but you just might find if you limp it to the line
the line ain't so long, so long

I had a girl, had a girl, such a beautiful girl
I had her love me for awhile
she was mine, she was mine, she was really fine
she used to treat me like a baby child
she loved me like a rainbow, she loved me so strong
then I went away for a minute and a day
it was one minute too long, so long

honey you got time to fix what is broken
don't be afraid to get rid of what's wrong, so long

I wanna go, wanna go, on a mystery trip
I wanna cruise down the miracle mile
I wanna push it to the limit in dead man's curve
make jump, make it squeal, make it shimmy for awhile
oh yeah! my baby
now would you wanna come along
your daddy might say that you're slippin' away
but I know you're already gone, so long

long, long, long, long
so long
