Stupid heart, cupid heart
Where will you go from here?
Magnetic ring, magnetic draw
Ooh, what you got me into?
I'm a wolf, chrome craw
Leavin' you now
- i'll write ya, ma
Takin' a putt up to carson city
Well, if you hear me howlin'
Wehell, sittin' pretty
Tasted nitty gritty
Puttin' on into carson city
Sparks, tattoos, two tats and a toot
Helmets, crosses, and a patch to boot
Engine hot, pipes burn white
Glad i'm not home tonight
Five miles back i took a spill
- thought i almost paid my bill
Makin' my putt to carson city
Party time with the jones-by-name
Ah, it's a shame
Say, it's a pity
Gotta put outta carson city
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
