First one out the door is the one who left And the other one is just the one left alone all by theirselves There's ups and downs to every side Like bad shocks on a low-down ride My baby is a swinger, and he's hard to dodge Kickin' up gravel by the motor lodge My baby is a demon, like to break my heart Shot through the arm with a poison dart I caught a ride with the first car out of town He's got legs like a goat and he's keeping the lights turned down Well things just never did go the way I planned But the fall don't hurt, honey, it's when you land
Eight tracks running up and down On out the window, all over town My baby is a scamp, four on the floor On his hands and knees, crawling toward the door Wide, wide dixie highway He's got one lane that's always headed my way Wide, wide dixie highway There's a little piece of heaven by the gates of hell Straight up to the end of that skyway My baby is a swinger and he's hard to dodge Kickin' up gravel by the motor lodge My baby is a demon, like to break my heart Shot through the arm with a poison dart Shot through the arm. . .with a poison dart
