0:31Well she was standing by the highway
0:37In her boots and silver spurs
0:42Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
0:48When a Cadillac stopped for her
0:52And she said "Hey nice to meet you are you goin' my way "
1:03Yeah that's when it happened
1:08The world caught fire that day
1:13And she went down swingin'
1:24Yeah she went down swingin'
1:34Well she was over twenty-one
1:39In trouble with the law
1:44And it didn't faze her none
1:50She called her mother-in-law
1:54And said I need a little money
2:00I knew I could count on you
2:05After that night in Vegas
2:10And the hell that we went through
2:15We went down swingin'
2:23Like Benny Goodman
2:25Yeah we went down swingin'
2:56Moonlight on the interstate
3:01She was 'cross the Georgia line
3:07Looked out the window feeling great
3:11Yeah it had to come in time
3:16And she said I'm never goin' back
3:22She said at last I'm free
3:27I wish ma could see me now she'd be so proud of me
3:37She went down swingin'
3:45Like Glenn Miller
3:47Yeah she went down swingin'
3:54Like Tommy Dorsey
3:57Yeah she went down swingin'
4:04Like Sammy Davis
4:07She went down swingin'
4:14Like Sonny Liston
Well she was standing by the highway In her boots and silver spurs Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon When a Cadillac stopped for her And she said "Hey nice to meet you are you goin' my way " Yeah that's when it happened The world caught fire that day And she went down swingin' Yeah she went down swingin' Well she was over twenty-one In trouble with the law And it didn't faze her none She called her mother-in-law And said I need a little money I knew I could count on you After that night in Vegas And the hell that we went through We went down swingin' Like Benny Goodman Yeah we went down swingin' Moonlight on the interstate She was 'cross the Georgia line Looked out the window feeling great Yeah it had to come in time And she said I'm never goin' back She said at last I'm free I wish ma could see me now she'd be so proud of me She went down swingin' Like Glenn Miller Yeah she went down swingin' Like Tommy Dorsey Yeah she went down swingin' Like Sammy Davis She went down swingin' Like Sonny Liston
