Needing sleep and hot and dirty on I drove through Alberquerque | |
I had one eye on the mirror for the law | |
When I pulled in for some gasoline, six house from El Paso | |
Seemed New Mexico went on for evermore | |
I was talkin' to the pump man, and you should have seen him jump, man | |
When I told him I was heading for the Heights | |
He said, “Wait on 'til tomorrow 'cos a few miles from Socorro | |
Is a place you'll never leave by light of night” | |
There's only buzzards and lizards and ornerary critturs | |
You've run out of luck if you get stuck in Trombone Gulch | |
Well I laughed and left him standing, put a big tip in his hand | |
And drove on out ignoring all his shouts of thanks | |
But a few miles from Socorro I discovered to my horror | |
That his shouts had meant he hadn't filled the tank | |
I knew I wasn't beaten yet, I stumbled from the sedan | |
Cursing everyone from Satan up to God | |
And I pushed it to ledge and pushed it out across the edge | |
And knew the law would never see it from the road | |
And the dust came like a blizzard, I got bitten by a lizard | |
And I fell down into canyons all the time | |
But I kept the road beside me, 'cos I had to have it guide me | |
All the way to safety and the borderline | |
When the sun came up from sleepin' and the morning came in creeping | |
I could see a signpost just on up ahead | |
It said “Welcome to Socorro! Did you like to ride our trombone? | |
It goes right around the valley on a bend! |
