Finally got a ride, some old broad down from Santa Fe
She was a real go-getter
She drawled so sweetly, "I think, child, that things'll get better"
We pulled off the highway, night black as a widow
"Yes, I read the Bible," she said, "I wanna know of you"

Hey, I think I've got a live one,
Hey, I think I've got a live one, Yeah, Yeah,
I think I've got a live one

Felt like I was hit by a diesel or a greyhound bus
She was no baby-sitter
"Get up, sugar, never thought you'd be a quitter"
I opened the back door, she was greedy
I ran through the desert, she was chasin'
No time to get dressed, so I was naked, stranded in Chihuahua

Hey, I think I've got a live one,
Hey, I think I've got a live one,
Hey, hey, I think I've got a live one,
Alone, raped and freezin',
Alone cold and sneezin',
Alone down in Mexico,
Alone
