SIXTY​-​SEVEN DOLLARS AND A PICKUP TRUCK

from MONA LISA SMILE by Billy O'Dwyer Bob

/

lyrics

Well, pedal to the metal and you're burning up the road
Your mind is doing eighty and you're wired to explode
You see it all so clearly like a vision in your head
You read between the lines of every silly thing she said.

She told you how she loved you from the bottom of her heart
How horses in the wild couldn't pull you all apart
Heading down the highway, running out of luck
Sixty-seven dollars and a pickup truck.

Well, your baby up and left you, guess you never had a chance
She met a handsome cowboy at a local country dance
She up and done a runner in the middle of the night
She said it wasn't working, how she couldn't make it right.

She wrote it in a letter, said someday you'd understand
You gambled with the devil and you played the losing hand
Heading down the highway, running out of luck
Sixty-seven dollars and a pickup truck.

Chorus
You've got a head on your shoulders like a big bull buck
Whiskey on your breath and you're all jacked up
Thinking makes you mad, drinking makes you mean
Sitting riding shotgun, there's old Jimmy Beam.
Trying to come to terms with the voices in your head
Things you never done, that you wish you never said
Heading down the highway, running out of luck
Sixty-seven dollars and a pickup truck.

Well, ripping up the rubber and you're leaning on the gas
Yonder comes a copper in a cruiser hauling ass
Should'a learned a lesson, should'a listened to your ma
Never pitch a play to the hands of Johnny Law

'Cause he'll hunt you like a dog and he always gets his man
You stand before the judge and he'll slap you in the can
Heading down the highway, running out of luck
Sixty-seven dollars and a pickup truck.

Chorus x2
