Verse 1

The bar closed that night I offered her a ride

She said, “Take me to your car”

But I lost my license on a DUI

I took her away on my handle bars

She called me Don Quixote

Quite ironic I suppose

We were drunk as dragons

Feast on the fermented flesh of the fallen heroes

Verse 2

The place she was staying was the Garden of Eden

I stopped at the gates

A noisy neon sign buzzed and shined

Advertising hourly rates

I asked her if she could make it

She wasn't walking so well

She said, “Don't let me die alone in an interstate town

In the bathtub of a sleaze pit motel”

Verse 3

I must confess I was staring at her chest

On her heart was a new tattoo

Some folks are religious, me I'm just superstitious

I cringed it said, “What Would Jesus Do”

She asked me if I believed

In heaven, hell, redemption, or sin

Well it's hard for a man to believe in much of nothing

'til an angel's laying under him
