  F#        Bmaj7     F#        Bmaj7
    A long stretch of headlights bends into I-9

  F#        Bmaj7     F#        Bmaj7
    Tiptoe into truckstops

  E         Amaj7     E         Amaj7

  Em        Em        C         C'-C      D
  Texaco

Verse 2:

Well, he tried to be Standard
He tried to be Mobil
He tried living in a world
And in a shell
There was this block-busted blonde
He loved her - free parts and labor
But she broke down and died
And threw all the rods he gave her

Bridge 2:

But this one ain't fuel-injected
Her plug's disconnected
She gets scared and she stalls
She just needs a man, that's all

Chorus 2:

It's her last chance
Her timing's all wrong
Her last chance
She can't idle this long
Her last chance
Turn her over and go
Pullin' out of the last chance texaco
The last chance
