(Chords in relation to Capo) E 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
