Tin Sky Hitchhike

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were parked by the bean field gate Dust on the hood, all night, too late Then a silver blink cut the fence line clean Like a jukebox coin in a bad dream My baby said, "Boy, do you see that glow?" I said, "Honey, that ain't no plane I know" It dipped real low, then it shot on by Left a slice of smoke in the Texas sky [Pre-Chorus] Shakin' my bones Rattlin' my shoes I got that look And you got it too [Chorus] UFO, UFO Roll me where the wild winds go UFO, UFO Shake that night and let it show It came fast It came bright Made a liar outta that moonlit night UFO, UFO Don't tell me no [Verse 2] Old Earl spit and dropped his grin Said, "That here's just a weather tin" But the hound dog barked at the empty air And the blacktop lit like a county fair It spun three turns with a purple tail Then blinked one eye and it skipped the rail We heard no roar, just a whistlin' whine Then the whole damn ridge went flat on time [Pre-Chorus] Shakin' my bones Rattlin' my shoes I got that look And you got it too [Chorus] UFO, UFO Roll me where the wild winds go UFO, UFO Shake that night and let it show It came fast It came bright Made a liar outta that moonlit night UFO, UFO Don't tell me no [Bridge] [Half-time break] My baby laughed Then she grabbed my arm Said, "That thing ain't from around this farm" A little green flash A chrome-blue ring Then the whole sky went hot like a wildcat sing [Final Chorus] UFO, UFO Roll me where the wild winds go UFO, UFO Shake that night and let it show It came fast It came bright Made a liar outta that moonlit night UFO, UFO Don't tell me no UFO, UFO Gone before the crow could crow
