1
About three miles from border town, the california nevada line
2
The morning sun does rise and fall, and the midnight wind it does whistle and wind
3
Like a dust cloud from the flatland with the force of the mountain behind
4
Stood in front of me, a vision ya see, with her thumb aimed to the sky
5
Yes she jumped inside and spoke her name, Cecelia Dee from Abilene
6
I caught her eyes, as I was hypnotized, like a fire fed with kerosene
7
Just one look, that was all it took, I was trying to put up the good fight but I was hooked
8
Down the road a ways she said to me, and then we'll see how far we go
9
Chorus:
10
Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway
11
Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of
12
Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way
13
Wishin' now til my dying day that I had never believed her
14
Yeah, there began the ride of my life, oh cheap drinks and neon lights
15
My vision, my lines of reality blurred, no heaven or hell, no wrong or right
16
Took my face to her hands and kissed me like none ever before
17
Said do what you want, do what you will but don't you dare leave me tonight
18
[ Chorus ]
19
Now it's three days later the time doesn't matter, just tell me where's my watch and my cash
20
Forgive me please for how I might have behaved, for I can't seem to remember what happened last
21
It was like a dream, one of heaven's schemes, Cecelia Dee from Abilene
22
Last thing I remember she was smilin' like the devil and laughing like all hell
23
As she rode out of sight
24
[ Chorus ]
