About the song
Fell from the air!
Lyrics
I was cruisin’ down an old Nevada road
Nothin’ but the Sun and the desert heat beatin’ down
I was makin’ time, I had the drop top down,
I was mindin’ my business,
Playin’ Allman Brothers loud

Leavin’ my troubles behind, far away from my Indiana home,
I needed to find a new town, My old girl well she left me,
Went of and married a spud,
She told she loved him, I’ll tell ya he’s a dud


I prayed Lord help me
Can you get me through this time
I know I made a mistake
I’m willin’ to do the time
I cried out are you listenin’ Lord
Won’t you please help me
I want to make a new a start
I want to heal my heart

I was lookin’ through the rear view mirror
The next thing I know, I see those familiar flashin’ lights
They were bearin’ down fast on me, they were flyin’ down the road
I didn’t want any trouble, so I stomped that pedal to the floor

Was doin’ a hundred and twenty
Never had this baby goin’ so fast, Thought she might start to fly
When somethin’ crossed the path, I knew I shouldn’t have,
But I turned that dam steerin’ wheel, it was like a wild bronco ride

I thought, Lord this is the not the way I want to go
When we finally came to a rest, the dust was swirling ‘round
I heard that Sheriff’s car door slam,
He was comin’ up fast, I knew I was goin’ down
