Intro:
(3 times)
Verse1:
Well she was standin by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
When a Cadillac tried for her
And he said Hey nice to meet you
Are you goin my way
Yeah, that s when it happened
The world caught fire that day
Chorus1:
And she went down
Swingin
Yeah she went down
Swingin
Verse2:
Well she was over 21
In trouble with the law
And it didn t phase him none
She called her mother-in-law
She said I need a little money
I know I can count on you
After that night in Vegas
And the hell that we went through
Chorus2:
We went down
Swingin (like Billy Goodman)
Yeah we went down
Swingin (yes we did)
Verse3:
Went out on the interstate
She was cross the Georgia line
Looked out the window feelin great
Yeah it had to come in time
And she said I m never goin back
She said at last I m free
I wish ma could see me now
She d be so proud of me
Chorus3:
Yeah she went down
Swingin (like Greg Miller)
Yeah she went down
Swingin (like Charlie Dorresey)
Yeah she went down
Swingin (like Sunny Davis)
She went down
Swingin. (like sunny Liston)
then fade out
