Was riding alongside the highway, Rolling up the country side, Thinking I'm the devil's heat wave. What you burn in your crazy mind? Saw a slight distraction standing by the road.

Seven thirty seven coming out of the sky, Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride? I want to move, Playing in a travelin' band, Yeah!
