Annies Last Ride
85 in the middle of the night
she goes screaming down the free-way
85 in the middle of the night
she goes speeding her temper away
oh she’s like a freight-train off the rails
with no emergency break
she’s like a bat out of hell
She’s like a comet with a crash course
set for the floor
Ill never forget the night
that i never saw Annie anymore
95 in the middle of the night
she goes cruising past a cop car
95 in the middle of the night
she’s in a race being cheered on by the stars
she’s got vodka on the tip of her lips
with not a single intention
of pulling over for anything
a bottle pressed between her hips
ill never forget the night
that i forgot to give annie a kiss
she was far, too far gone
to be helped out by anyone
far, too far gone
she’d closed her eyes and said goodbye
to the sun
At 125 shes got her all maxed out
the sirens are whining
theres no going any faster now
at 125 shes got the pedal all the way down,
this race is almost over now
the cops have pulled off
as the pavement stops
and watch as annie careens
into the jagged rocks
she had a date on her calendar chiseled in
i guess when you’ve got an appointment with death
theres no rescheduling
she was far, too far gone
to be helped out by anyone
far, too far gone
she’d closed her eyes and said goodbye
to the sun
Just like a freight-train off the rails
with no emergency brake
shes like a bat out of hell
shes like a comet with a crash course
set for the floor
ill never forget the night
that I never saw Annie anymore
