[Verse 1]
I had the carburetor cleaned and checked
With her line blown out, she's hummin' like a turbojet
Propped her up in the backyard on concrete blocks
For a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
Took her down to the car wash, check the plugs and points
I'm goin' out tonight, gonna rock this joint
[Verse 2]
Early North Jersey industrial skyline
I'm an all set Cobra Jet creepin' through the nighttime
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a pay phone
This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone
Gotta hit the gas 'cause I'm runnin' late
This New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
5 a.m., oil pressure's sinkin' fast
Pit stop, wipe the windshield and check the gas
Gotta call my baby on the telephone
Let her know her daddy is comin' home
Sit tight, mama, I'm comin' round
I got three more hours but I'm coverin' ground
[Verse 4]
Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours
Sun's a red ball over the refinery towers
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations
Lost souls callin' long distance salvation
Hey Mr. DJ, won't you hear my last prayer?
Let rock and roll deliver me from nowhere
