[Verse 1]
(Chords in relation to Capo)
E
E
Well I Had the carburetor baby cleaned and checked 
with her line blown out she's hummin' like a turbojet
A
Propped her up in my backyard on concrete blocks 
E
for a new clutch plate and a new set of shocks
B
Took her down to the carwash check the plugs and points well
E
I'm goin' out tonight I'm gonna rock that joint
E
Early north Jersey industrial skyline 
I'm an all set cobra jet creepin' through the nighttime
A
Gotta find a gas station, gotta find a payphone 
E
This turnpike sure is spooky at night when you're all alone
B
Gotta hit the gas baby I'm runnin' late, 
E
This New Jersey in the mornin' like a lunar landscape

[Verse 2]
E
Now the boss don't dig me so he put me on the nightshift
Takes me two hour to get to where my baby lives
A
In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy 
E
Radio relay towers won't you lead me to my baby
B
Underneath the overpass trooper hits his party light switch
E
Goodnight good luck one two powershift
E
I met Wanda when she was employed behind 
the counter at the route 60 Bobs Big Boy 
A
Fried chicken on the front seat she's sittin' in my lap
E
We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap
B
I remember Wanda up on scrap metal hill 
E
with them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still

[Verse 3]
E
5 A.M. oil pressure's sinkin' fast
I make a pit stop wipe the windshield check the gas
A
Gotta call my baby on the telephone
E
Let her know that her daddy's comin' on home
B
Sit tight little mamma I'm commin' round 
E
I got three more hours but I'm coverin' ground
E
Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours 
sun's just a red ball risin' over them refinery towers
A
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations 
E
Lost souls callin' long distance salvation
B
Hey Mister DJ won't ya hear my last prayer 
E
Hey ho rock 'n roll deliver me from nowhere
