Met a braided angel on a roadside ditch saying you young boy I'll go riding with. I guess I lost my head to her once the lights went low, the road ran narrow and her words were slow

I was just about gone and out of sight and she, she was just a girl in the night

We rode along the levee on that two-lane route, switching from small talk on to rythm and brews. She played me a song on a tape she'd made, saying go on Johnny speed and don't be afraid

I was just about gone and out of sight and she, she was just a girl in the night

Well I pulled the throttle and I spun her wild, she just emptied a bottle and said slow down for a while, but I just kept speeding until I knew we'd spin. There ain't a thought that'll help you once your heart caves in.

I was just about gone and out of sight and she, she was just a girl in the night

Hey little low and lonely put a lighter to your sin, if you knock hard on heaven they ought to let you in.
