Lyrics

CLOCK AND SPEEDOMETER (BILL PASSALACQUA)
V1
SHE WAS BORN IN A CABIN IN THE COUNTRY
DOWN AMONGST THE PEACHES AND THE PINES
NOW SHE’S FLYING FAST, AN HOUR AGO SHE PASSED
THE SILOS AND THE CITY LIMIT SIGN

CHORUS:
SHE’LL WATCH THE CLOCK AND THE SPEEDOMETER
SHE’LL WATCH THE SUN SETTING FAST
BUT THE WINDSHIELD WON’T SHOW HER THE FUTURE
LIKE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR LAYS OUT HER PAST

V2
TWENTY EIGHT YEARS SHE FOLLOWED ALL THE RULES
COOKIN’ DINNER, WASHIN’ DISHES WASHIN’ CLOTHES
SHE MARRIED THE PREACHER, WAS THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER
NOW WHERE SHE’S HEADED GOD ONLY KNOWS

CHORUS

V3
LAST WEEK SHE WENT TO SEE THE DOCTOR
WHO SAID THAT SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE A CHILD
THAT PREACHER MADE HER FEEL LIKE A FAILURE
AND WATCHED HER EYES TURN FROM WET TO WILD

BRIDGE
SHE SMASHED UP THE NURSERY, SHE SMASHED UP THE DEN
SHE SMASHED THE PICTURE FRAMES, THE DISHES AND THEN
SHE SLASHED THE TIRES ON THAT PREACHER’S OLDSMOBILE
HOPPED INTO THE PICK UP TRUCK AND LET THEM TIRES SQUEAL

CHORUS
