Well, darling, I'm a-comin' down, oh, route number 67
I just got off the turnpike, affordin' the Ohio State Inspection
Johnny Law followed me up the road, then he turned off and he let me go
I guess this old truck ain't worth shuttin' down
I just got off the turnpike, affordin' the Ohio State Inspection

And your voice last night on the telephone
Said you wouldn't be there when I got home
So when I get to Cleveland, I'm gonna head back south
Well, the light keeps comin' on
I got water in the fuel
Oh, my brakes are gone
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
By tomorrow mornin', I could be dead
Baby, maybe you've been right all along
You said you couldn't stay
With the one who was always goin' away
All you wanted to do was to settle down
You wanted to buy that little trailer
Had on the edge with the money you were savin'
With a carport and a color TV
No place to turn around
Oh, my brakes are gone





Well, the light keeps comin' on
I got water in the fuel
Oh, my brakes are gone
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
By tomorrow mornin', I could be dead
Baby, maybe you've been right all along
Baby, maybe you've been right all along
Baby, maybe you've been right all along
Remember that winter when the lake froze over
We drove out there after we'd unloaded
We ripped that truck
And we spun it round and round
Oh, my brakes are gone
And then we left it there after we'd unloaded
Island out on that ice
We crawled in the sleeper
And I held you tight
Baby, I'm sure on thin ice now
Well, the light keeps coming on
I got water in the fuel
Oh, my brakes are gone
I got a left front tire
Slowing thread
But tomorrow morning
I could be dead
Baby, maybe you've been
Right all along
Baby, maybe you've been
Right all along
Oh
Baby, maybe you've been

Right all along
Baby, maybe you've been
Right all along
