The wagons in the valley
    had pulled up for the night
    Seth said
    "go get the plow out Merle,
    this place looks just right"
    By then they were surrounded,
    by dawn they all were dead
    I heard this from
    the old Trans Am,
    up the road ahead
    That cowboy just kept talking,
    I thought I heard him say
    He used to ride the Santa Fe
    before the tracks were laid

    Trans Am

    A nasty wind was blowing
    through the gates of Eden Park
    One was swinging
    and one was hanging,
    and the street lights all were dark
    It crawled along the boulevard
    with two wheels on the grass
    That old Trans Am was dying hard,
    but still had lots of gas
    The golden gate was open wide,
    the sun came shining through
    Where once
    the angels stood and cried
    everything was new

    Trans Am

    Global manufacturing,
    hands across the sea
    The hotel filled with dealers,
    everything was free
    Before the competition,
    ahead of all the rest
    The product was presented,
    it clearly was the best
    The power link was ruptured,
    the hotel shook and rolled
    The old Trans Am
    just bounced around
    and took another road

    Trans Am

    An old friend showed up at the door
    The mile posts flying by
    He said come on, I said what for
    He said I'll show you why
    I got a call from north of here
    They said some girl's broke down
    There's good money in it
    for you and me
    If we can get her back to town
    She's somewhere north of Barstow
    Lost on 66
    An old Trans Am
    by the side of the road
    That needs a headlight fixed

    Trans Am
