Payment

Well, the car broke down somewhere near Memphis
About another forty miles to go
Here we were stranded in the middle of nowhere
We were freezing in the falling snow

And if we only had a map or compass
'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea
Which way to go

Now should we walk and then in what direction
Or do we stay inside this wrecked machine?
Or should we try to find a petrol station
And make a fire with the gasoline?

And if we only had some food or water
'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea
Which way to go

After a week we were getting real hungry
Sick and tired of playing guitar
A truck drove by, this unlucky guy
We prepared him for dinner and took his car

So we hit the road and headed for the city
When we got there, no one said a word
Here we were sitting looking at each other
With a question mark above our heads

And if we only had a reason to be here
'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea
What I'm doing in here
