Along stretch of headlines

Blends into I-9

Tiptoe into truck-stops

And sleepy diesel eyes

Volcanoes rumble into taxi

And glow in the dark

Camels in the driver's seat

A slow, easy mark



But you ran out of gas

Down the road a piece

Then the battery went dead

And now the cable won't reach



It's your last chance

To check under the hood

Last chance

She ain't sounding to good

Your last chance

To trust the man with the star

You've found the Last Chance Texaco



Well, he tried to be standard

He tried to be Mobil

He tried living in a World

And in a Shell

There was this block-busted blond

He loved her-free part and labor

But she broke down and died

And threw all the rods he gave her



But this one ain't fuel injected

Her plugs's disconnected

She got scared and she stalls

She just need a man, that's all



It's her last chance

Her timing's all wrong

Her last chance

She can't idle this long

Her last chance

turn her over and go

Pullin' out of the Last Chance Texaco

The last chance
