"Swingin'" lyrics
"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 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 know I can 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'
Yes, we did
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 going 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

When the church bells toll
The choir's gonna sing
And the hearse will roll
On down to the graveyard

Through the shadows...
The Marshall Tucker Band - "Take The Highway" Take the highway
Lord knows I've been gone too long
Lot of sad days, yeah

Hear me...
