[Verse 1]
We pulled into Modesto after eight hours straight
Of fightin' every mile along that interstate
Stopped to grab some gasoline and buy a pack of smokes
But by the time I left the counter, she was halfway down the road

[Chorus]
She left me in Modesto chokin' on dust
Four spinnin' tires headin' for Los Angeles
She never said "Goodbye", Lord she just took off in my truck
Left me high and dry as that damn Modesto dust

[Verse 2]
And now it gets downright dangerous in them dusty city streets
I caught someone on my cellphone but I left it on the seat
And I'm in downtown Modesto, just a-walkin' and a-wishin'
That I hadn't left my damn keys stuck in the ignition

[Chorus]
She left me in Modesto chokin' on dust
Four spinnin' tires headin' for Los Angeles
She never said "Goodbye", Lord she just took off in my truck
Left me high and dry as that damn Modesto dust

[Verse 3]
If you see her out in LA, tell her "Keep the truck"
That engine ain't worth an oil change and it needs a brand-new clutch
She'll know where to find me: in some Modesto bar
She might've stole my beat-up truck, but I've got her credit card
[Chorus]
She left me in Modesto chokin' on dust
Four spinnin' tires headin' for Los Angeles
She never said "Goodbye", Lord she just took off in my truck
Left me high and dry as that damn Modesto dust
She left me high and dry as that damn Modesto dust

[Outro]
This round's on me ... or, her!
