[Intro]
Survey says it was a bad idea in the first place
Never been that drunk in my life
As I got down on my hands and knees
And asked you to be my husband, I mean wife
Two days later, still coughing up blood
I sat down to write this letter
With a clearer head, and a heart full of lead

[Verse 1]
Engine is runnin', power's goin' down, down, down
Engine is goin', tires are sinking deep into the ground
Engine is runnin', but the times are going by slower than ever
Engine is goin', crossing still an impossible line

[Chorus]
When you know it's going to work
It makes you, breaks you, all the same now
California doesn't know what hit it, admit it
Got 'em by the balls
One lost Pinto gets them to the border in order
All we need now

[Verse 2]
Army is runnin', the hands and legs are locked with paper clips
Army is goin', but the anthrax still persists
Army is goin', but the cavalry still hasn't saved the day yet
Army is runnin', crossing still an impossible line
[Chorus]
When you know it's going to work
It makes you, breaks you, all the same now
California doesn't know what hit it, admit it
Got 'em by the balls
One lost Pinto gets them to the border in order
All we need now (One, two, cha-cha-cha)

[Outro]
Survey says it was a chest-high fastball
Survey it was a bunch of nonsense
