Lyrics
I picked her up in Sausalito,
She let me down in Santa Fe.
She was lookin' for some action, I was hopin' for the same.
She took me on a ride to heaven, left me on a road to hell.
She was two weeks shy of 18, I was older by a day.
We had some wild times in Reno,
Found some trouble 'long the way.
She took me on a ride to heaven, left me on a road to hell.
She said, "I'll bet you didn't know this,
but you're wanted in 3 states".
I couldn't help but notice,
that her eyes turned stop-light red.
It was eleven past eleven,
when I heard that cell door slam
She took me on a ride to heaven, left me on a road to hell.
She took me on that ride to heaven, left me on a road to hell.
