Burning Car

She was dressed in a white suit;
She looked like a bride too.
It's a burning car, it's a burning car.
Then I looked at the sunset;
And it felt like a stage set.

Well, there she sits, buddy, just a gleaming in the sun;
There to greet a working man when his day is done.
I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt;
I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch.
Crazy 'Bout an Automobile

Every woman I know is crazy 'bout an automobile;
And here I am standing with nothing but rubber heels.
No-One Driving

The family's back from long ago;
The voices burnt, the voices gold.
Vapour trails go by, voices on the lines;
Nothing to come back to, can't we fade?
On the Road Again

Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again;
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
Underpass

Standing in the dark;
Watching you glow.
Lifting a receiver;
Nobody I know.
Underpass, underpass.

My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac;
