Benmont Tench - Swingin' lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, she was standing by the highway In her boots and silver spurs Going to 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 [Chorus] And she went down swinging Yeah, she went down swinging [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] We went down swinging Like Benny Goodman Yeah, we went down swinging [Verse 3] Moonlight on the interstate She was across 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 [Chorus] She went down swinging Like Glenn Miller Yeah, she went down swinging Like Tommy Dorsey Yeah, she went down swinging Like Sammy Davis She went down swinging Like Sonny Liston
