[Verse 1]
Well, I'm so tired of driving, but here comes the highway
Don't wanna go cold turkey
Ride with me, Jesus, so high on the mainline
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley

[Refrain 1]
Remember, her kiss is like kerosene
The rest of her only a memory
Don't feel so bad 'cause you made me
A picture so clear
A picture so clear that it's crystalline

[Verse 2]
Better run to the doctor
Girl, run to the medicine
Don't wanna go cold turkey
I'll be your Napoleon, be your crippled Alexander
But don't wanna go up the country

[Verse 3]
Shame there's nothing to hang it on
Except for this wreck that you made of me
A blackbird singing a mourning song
Sing along
Sing to the end of a century
Sing it

[Verse 4]
Well, I can't stand the thought of many more miles
But I don't wanna go cold turkey
Here comes the highway
Can't you see what it made me
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley

[Refrain 2]
Remember, her kisses are kerosene
The exile lives in her memory
A scarecrow singing a mourning song
Sing along
Sing to the end of a century

[Verse 5]
Are you still with me, Jesus, so high on the mainline?
Don't let me go up the country
Girl, better run, better run for the medicine
Don't let me go cold turkey

[Coda]
Don't let me go cold turkey
Don't wanna go
