Verse

I found myself by the highway

From England to New Orleans

She rode shotgun but stayed facing me

And I laid down in the back

I fell in love somewhere near Illinois

And she said she loved me right back

Away

Well i saw her again

It was a sunday evening

She had flagged a ride

It was a Lincoln Continental

She was on the passenger side

She had a hold of the handle

I said Rebecca don't go

He's not what he seems

I said Rebecca don't go

He's not what he seems

Take my word darling

And drop out of this dream

She said

He's going to

The big city

And I'm going too

You know how that is with me

I said stop

Don't you get in the car

Don't you get in the car

'cause I won't be coming back

If you get in the back

Don't you get in the car

Don't you get in the car

'cause I won't be coming back

If you get in the back

My sweetheart

My sweetheart

I will just stay awake

Six years or maybe eight

Till I lose your memory

And all that you've meant to me

'cause I can't stand to see this

I can't stand to see this

I can't stand to see this

Well she got inside

And waved goodbye

And I watched the tail lights

They danced like candle light

And then they went out

Goodbye

My sweetheart

Goodbye

My sweetheart
