[Verse 1]
(Chords in relation to Capo)
E
EWell I Had the carburetor baby cleaned and checked
with her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet
APropped her up in my backyard on concrete blocks
Efor a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
BTook her down to the carwash check the plugs and points well
EI'm goin' out tonight I'm gonna rock that joint
EEarly north Jersey industrial skyline
I'm an all set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime
AGotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone
EThis turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone
BGotta hit the gas baby I'm runnin' late,
EThis New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape

[Verse 2]
ENow the boss don't dig me so he put me on the nightshift
Takes me two hour to get to where my baby lives
AIn the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy
ERadio relay towers won't you lead me to my baby
BUnderneath the overpass trooper hits his party light switch
EGoodnight good luck one two powershift
EI met Wanda when she was employed behind
the counter at the route 60 Bobs Big Boy
AFried chicken on the front seat she's sittin' in my lap
EWe're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap
BI remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill
Ewith them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still

[Verse 3]
E5 A.M. oil pressure's sinkin' fast
I make a pit stop wipe the windshield check the gas
AGotta call my baby on the telephone
ELet her know that her daddy's comin' on home
BSit tight little mamma I'm commin' round
EI got three more hours but I'm coverin' ground
EYour eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours
sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers
ARadio's jammed up with gospel stations
ELost souls callin' long distance salvation
BHey Mister DJ won't ya hear my last prayer
EHey ho rock 'n roll deliver me from nowhere
