Well I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now. I'm a little hot wired and I'm feeling alright now. I got some money in my pocket and I won't need a ride now. I got a big cherry car and my baby by my side now. (chorus). Well I'm a little hot-wired but I'm feeling ok. And I got a little lost along the way. And I'm just around the corner from the light of day. Just around the corner from the light of day. Well driving 500 miles got 100 to go yeah. I've got rock and roll music on the radio. I've got a brother on the rig who's from the Gulf Coast. He said the girls down there are really the most yeah. (chorus). Well I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo. Don't ask me what I'm doing cause I don't know. He wasn't joking when he wrote me that letter. Things can't get worse so they got to get better. (chorus).
