Crack Up In Las Cruces

(album: Geronimo's Cadillac - 1972)

A flash flood came on highway ten
I lost control and went into a spin
I felt the trailer cracking at the hitch
I felt my bones cracking in the ditch

It was a crack up in Las Cruces
May never see my Wanda Lee again
Crack up in Las Cruces
Thunderbird wine don't buck the wind
So take me to the doctor
To ease the pain for me
Won't you turn the red light on
This is emergency

Send a wire to mama in the night
Tell her that I'm healing up all right
I need a thousand dollars right away
If you gonna get a broken bone fixed you got to pay

Think I'm going back to Omaha
Soon as I get fixed up with the law
The moral to this song is plain to all
Don't get smashed when you're making your long haul
