(Seger)

I still remember, it was autumn and the moon was shining

Our '60 Cadillac was rolling through Nebraska whining

Doing a hundred-twenty, man the fields was bending over

Hauling up for the mountains knowing we was traveling further

All our fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning, turning

Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning, burning



I walked up back to speak to this southern funky school teacher

She had a lot of something heavy but we couldn't reach her

We told her that we needed something that would get us going

She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing

All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up

The cop came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck



Go! Get out of Denver, better go, go

Get out of Denver, better go

Get out of Denver, better go, go

Get out of Denver

'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a member

Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver



Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens they were screaming

We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming

Made it to Lovely Pass in under less than half an hour

Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower



Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens they were screaming

We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming

Made it to Lovely Pass in under less than half an hour

Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower



The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber

We kept on driving 'til we ran into some fog cover

We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going

We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning

Morning fog had lifted
