lyrics

I was going to see my girlfriend
She lived up in Santa Cruz
I was on a midnight drive
Driving like I had nothing to lose
I popped some dexedrine
Just to keep me awake
I guess I took a little too much
'Cause it made me start to shake, shake, shake
Then I saw a big old semi coming at me in my lane
He ran me right off the road
For reasons that I still can't explain

It was somewhere in-between
The Lost Hills and Paso Robles
That I did get my final kicks
My old car it spun like a dervish
And wound up deep down in a ditch
Way out on Highway 46

My car, well, it flipped and rolled
And it landed upside-down
It all seemed to happen in slo-mo
In a haze of yellow and brown
I remember I said to myself,
Hey, well, this is it
This is how my life will end
Holy shit
But then the dust did settle
And I got myself out
I looked at my mangled car and thought
I should've died in there no doubt

I was lucky I didn't die
I still wonder why, why, why, why didn't I

Since then nothing's been the same
And I gotta wonder
Maybe this is the Twilight Zone
And I'm really six feet under
Well maybe I didn't survive and I'm in hell
Maybe that's why the world's so strange
It's hard to tell
They say that Jimmy Dean he died here
Trying to get his kicks
Maybe somewhere he's written a song
