(Thunder!) I was caught         In the mid-dle of a railroad track,
(Thunder!) I looked'round       and I knew___there was no turn-in' back.
(Thunder!) My mind raced        and I thought___what could I do,
(Thunder!) And I knew           there was no help___no help from you.

 Went through to Texas,   Yeah  Texas,         And we had some fun 
 We met some girls,       Some dancers         Who gave a good time,
 Broke all the rules,     Played all the fools,   Yeah,Yeah,
