Losin' Kind - Nebraska Outtakes

原文

My name is Frank Davis

Driver, Dixie 109

I was out on Highway 17

Just south of Camden line

It was down there, in the heart of Wilsonville

Where I met my fate

She was standin' outside the barroom

Said she was waitin' for her date

But I knew

That that was just a line

And I knew I was messin' with the losin' kind

Well, I knew what we were both doin'

And I knew that you can't win

But when the light turned green, I reached across the seat

Popped the lock and she slid in

She said she liked Mexican music

She knew a place if I had the time

Well, we had a few drinks and we danced awhile

I pulled her close, she didn't mind

And what I knew

Kinda slipped my mind

And I couldn't resist her messin' with the losin' kind

Well, we drove around in my Buick

Gettin' drunk and havin' fun

Well, we ended up at this Best Western

Out on Highway 101

It was around 3 a.m., we went out

To this empty little roadside bar

It was there the cash register was open

It was there I hit that guy too hard

But I knew

When I hit him for a second time

That one attracts the other when they're the losin' kind

Well, I grabbed her hand to get out of there

And I felt like I was gonna be sick

And a half hour later, the sleet started comin' down

And that highway, it got pretty slick

I've seen some lights in my rearview mirror

I guess I panicked and I gave her a gun

Well, then I wrapped us around a telephone pole

South on Highway 101

Well, she just stumbled out onto the bank

And sat down in a pout

Well, I kicked out the driver's side window

But buddy, when I got out

Well, all I had to greet me

Was a highway patrolman's .45

He looked at the wreck and then, he said

"Son, you're lucky to be alive"

Well, sir, I'll think that one over if you don't mind

Now luck ain't much good to you when it's the losin' kind
