Introdução:
B E
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
B E
She was standing outside the bar room said she was waiting for a date
A E
But I knew that that was just a line
A E
And I knew I was messin' with a losin' kind
Well I knew what we were both doing, and I knew that you can't win
B E
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
B
Well we had a few drinks and we danced a while
E
I pulled her close, she didn't mind
A E
And what I knew kinda slipped my mind
B E
And I couldn't resist her messin' with a losin' kind
Well we drove around in my Buick, getting drunk and having fun
B E
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 road side bar
B
It was there the cash register was open
E
It was there I hit that guy to hard
A E
But I knew when I hit him for the second time
B E
That one attracts the other when you're the losin' kind
Well I grabbed her hand to get out of there
B E
And a half hour later the sleet started come down and that highway got pretty slick
I seen some lights in my rear-view mirror I guess I panicked and gave her a gun
B E
Well then I wrapped us around a telephone pole south on Highway 101
Well she just stumbled out on to the banks
B E
Well I kicked out the driver side window but buddy when I got out
Well all I had to greet me was a Highway Patrolman's 45
B E
He looked at the wreak and then he said "Son you're lucky to be alive"
A E
"Well Sir I'll think that one over if you don't mind
B E
Now luck ain't much good to you when it's the losin' kind"
