When I picked her up By the side of the road Didn't know where She'd come from Or where she was going There she was like A rolling stone I said come on honey won't You come on home She said take me back To the old race track I must have jumped the gun She said excuse me stranger Oh won't you be the one She's a car without a driver She's a guitar without a player She's a sinking sinking Ship without a flare She said excuse me stranger Don't you see this Trouble that I'm in Oh I'm never never never Never never gonna Make it home Eyes wide, lookin' like a child Tryin' tryin' not to cry Might break down any time Will she find her way There must be some mistake She said I wasn't supposed To end up here By the side of the road She said excuse me These hands of mine Are empty don't you see She said stranger won't you Stranger won't you be the one To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) She's a car without a driver She's a guitar without a player She's a sinking sinking Ship without a flare She said excuse me stranger Don't you see this Trouble that I'm in Oh I'm never never never Never never gonna Make it home again (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one) To put my pain at ease (Stranger won't you be the one) (Stranger won't you be the one)
