Tin Can Over Tulsa

Letra

[Verse 1] I was locking up the diner by the county line When a silver saucer cut across the pines No wings, no engine, just a humming blue And a little green passenger waved at me too [Chorus] Hey now, what was that flying overhead? Round as a hubcap, brighter than red It dipped by the water tower, then it shot out of sight I saw a UFO on a Saturday night [Verse 2] Mabel dropped her coffee, Earl dropped his keys The sheriff missed the turn and slammed the brakes with ease We chased that crazy sparkle down Route 22 But the thing made one sharp turn and vanished from view [Chorus] Hey now, what was that flying overhead? Round as a hubcap, brighter than red It dipped by the water tower, then it shot out of sight I saw a UFO on a Saturday night [Bridge] There were three neat circles burning in the corn And a warm little breeze where the machine had torn If you ask me tomorrow, I’ll swear it was true But tonight I’m keeping one eye on the moon [Final Chorus] Hey now, what was that flying overhead? Round as a hubcap, brighter than red It dipped by the water tower, then it shot out of sight I saw a UFO on a Saturday night Yes, I saw a UFO—and it saw me alright! [Outro] Beep-beep, baby, way up high Come back around before I die!
