E 
Well I Had the carburetor baby cleaned and checked  
with her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet 
A 
Propped her up in my backyard on concrete blocks  
E 
for a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks 
B 
Took her down to the carwash check the plugs and points well 
E 
I'm goin' out tonight I'm gonna rock that joint 

E 
Early north Jersey industrial skyline  
I'm an all set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime 
A 
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone  
E 
This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone 
B 
Gotta hit the gas baby I'm runnin' late,  
E 
This New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape 



E 
Now the boss don't dig me so he put me on the nightshift 
Takes me two hour to get to where my baby lives 
A 
In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy  
E 
Radio relay towers won't you lead me to my baby 
B 
Underneath the overpass trooper hits his party light switch 
E 
Goodnight good luck one two powershift 

E 
I met Wanda when she was employed behind  
the counter at the route 60 Bobs Big Boy  
A 
Fried chicken on the front seat she's sittin' in my lap 
E 
We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap 
B 
I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill  
E 
with them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still 


                                                         "Ye--------------------------------ah" 

E 
5 A.M. oil pressure's sinkin' fast 
I make a pit stop wipe the windshield check the gas 
A 
Gotta call my baby on the telephone 
E 
Let her know that her daddy's comin' on home 
B 
Sit tight little mamma I'm commin' round  
E 
I got three more hours but I'm coverin' ground 

E 
Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours  
sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers 
A 
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations  
E 
Lost souls callin' long distance salvation 
B 
Hey Mister DJ won't ya hear my last prayer  
E 
Hey ho rock 'n roll deliver me from nowhere
