Swingin'

Well, she was standing by the highway

In her boots and silver spurs

Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon

When a Cadillac stopped for herAnd she said, "Hey, nice to meet you

Are you goin' my way?"

Yeah, that's when it happened

The world caught fire that dayAnd 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-lawAnd said, "I need a little money

I knew I could count on you"

After that night in Vegas

And the hell that we went throughWe went down swingin'

Like Benny Goodman

Yeah, we went down swingin'

Yes we didMoonlight on the interstate

She was 'cross the Georgia line

Looked out the window feeling great

Yeah, it had to come in timeAnd 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 meYeah, she went down swingin'

Like Glenn Miller

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Tommy DorseyYeah, she went down swingin'

Like Sammy Davis

She went down swingin'

Like Sonny Liston
