First one out the door is the one who left

And the other one is just the one left alone all by theirselves

There's ups and downs to every side

Like bad shocks on a low-down ride

My baby is a swinger, and he's hard to dodge

Kickin' up gravel by the motor lodge

My baby is a demon, like to break my heart

Shot through the arm with a poison dart

I caught a ride with the first car out of town

He's got legs like a goat and he's keeping the lights turned down

Well things just never did go the way I planned

But the fall don't hurt, honey, it's when you land

Eight tracks running up and down

On out the window, all over town

My baby is a scamp, four on the floor

On his hands and knees, crawling toward the door

Wide, wide dixie highway

He's got one lane that's always headed my way

Wide, wide dixie highway

There's a little piece of heaven by the gates of hell

Straight up to the end of that skyway

My baby is a swinger and he's hard to dodge

Kickin' up gravel by the motor lodge

My baby is a demon, like to break my heart

Shot through the arm with a poison dart

Shot through the arm. . .with a poison dart
