I've been livin' on truckstop coffee
Cigarettes, and vitamin C
It's a wonder that the devil ain't caught me
I guess he's tired of playin' hide and seek
Been drivin' like I've been struck by lightin'
I think about you and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a trailerload of gasoline

If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock
Speed trap, county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do

A box of chicken and a day old biscuit
Ain't nothin' left but a few old bones
I outta stop but I'm gonna risk it
Caffeine got me chewin' styrofoam
Girl I'm callin' out of Kansas City
From a fillin' station telephone
Just had to tell you what I've been thinkin'
First thing I wanna do when I get home
If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock
Speed trap, county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do

Yeah, been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about you and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a trailerload of gasoline

If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock
Speed trap, county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
