audience - trombone gulch lyrics

Loading...

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!
