Well I come from Henry, for Elizabeth Lee
She's a black-haired beauty, that made a fool of me
Well I was breaking my back, down at the Pittsburgh Steel????? Was a buyer?, through the automobile
Ahh, the automobile
Harp fill 2x
Well pretty young things, you know they're wild and fast.
I knew that she could be trouble, Ahh they said it wouldn't last
I go to work every mornin', with a lush? In the back
I knew trouble was building, like a mountain of slag
Ahh, a mountain of slag
Harp fill 2x
One day I came home early, I found a man on my couch
He had a bottle of gin, as is talking? About
So I reached in my pocket, cold steel in my knife
I felt the blood in my veins, it was turning to ice
Ahh, it was turning to ice.
Harp fill 2x
Then I pulled out the keys, to the Coupe de Ville
The only thing in this world, that could give me a thrill
Sometimes things happen, you can play with your fate?
Before you fake out the devil?, a shame it's too late
Ahh, a shame it's too late.
Harp fill 2x
I had my foot to the floor, I had my head in a fog
There was Elizabeth Lee, I ran her down like a dog
Ahh, I ran her down like a dog, I ran her down like a dog
Ahh, I ran her down like a dog
