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

She said, "Hey, nice to meet you

Are you goin' my way?"

Yeah, that's how it happened

The world caught fire that day

And we went down swingin'

Yeah, we went down swingin'

Well, she was over twenty-one

Been In trouble with the law

And it didn't faze her none

She called her mother-in-law

She 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

And we went down swingin'

Yeah, we went down swingin'

Moonlight on the interstate

She was 'cross the Georgia line

Looked out the window feeling great

Yeah, it had to come in time

She said I'm never goin' back

At least now I'm free

I wish ma could see me now

She'd be so proud of me

We went down swingin'

We went down swingin'

We went down swingin'

We went down swingin'
