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 Trans Am
