Swingin'

(album: Echo - 1999)

Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
When a Cadillac stopped for her
And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you going my way?"
Yeah, that's when it happened
The world caught fire that day

And she went down swinging
Yeah, she went down swinging

Well, she was over twenty-one
In trouble with the law
And it didn't faze her none
She called her mother-in-law
And said I need a little money
I knew I could count on you
After that night in Vegas
And the hell that we went through

We went down swinging
Like Benny Goodman
Yeah, we went down swinging

Moonlight on the interstate
She was 'cross the Georgia line
Looked out the window feeling great
Yeah, it had to come in time
And she said I'm never going back
She said at last I'm free
I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me

She went down swinging
Like Glenn Miller
Yeah, she went down swinging
Like Tommy Dorsey
Yeah, she went down swinging
Like Sammy Davis
She went down swinging
Like Sonny Liston
