Lyrics

Trans am
The wagons in the valley
Had pulled up for the night
Seth said
"Go get the plow out merle
This place looks just right"
By then they were surrounded
By dawn they all were dead
I heard this from
The old trans am
Up the road ahead
That cowboy just kept talking
I thought I heard him say
He used to ride the santa fe
Before the tracks were laid
Trans am
A nasty wind was blowing
Through the gates of eden park
One was swinging
And one was hanging
And the street lights all were dark
It crawled along the boulevard
With two wheels on the grass
That old trans am was dying hard
But still had lots of gas
The golden gate was open wide
The sun came shining through
Where once
The angels stood and cried
Everything was new
Trans am
Global manufacturing
Hands across the sea
The hotel filled with dealers
Everything was free
Before the competition
Ahead of all the rest
The product was presented
It clearly was the best
The power link was ruptured
The hotel shook and rolled
The old trans am
Just bounced around
And took another road
Trans am
An old friend showed up at the door
The mile posts flying by
He said come on, I said what for
He said I'll show you why
I got a call from north of here
They said some girl's broke down
There's good money in it
For you and me
If we can get her back to town
She's somewhere north of barstow
Lost on 66
An old trans am
By the side of the road
That needs a headlight fixed
Trans am
