Late one night on a road in Texas
I pulled into an all-night cafe
What's my pleasure? Well ma'am the fact is, I don't know

Sat down next to a "Rajun' Cajun"
A black haired beauty from New Orleans
Did my duty can I buy you a drink dear
She said "Please"

(So) we rolled right along
And the night got long
So I said how would you like it to be?

Then she sang her song
Said "If I come along
You must find a place in your heart for me"

I was lost on a road to nowhere
And asked if she was goin' my way
She was late for a date with no one
(So) please don't leave

She'd just left a love that was dying
And had no plans of goin back
I caught her eyes as she was crying
"Let's make tracks"

(So) we rolled right along
And the night got long
So I said how would you like it to be?

She said, "I'll follow , I'll follow you on your dare
Your eyes say something, your heart better care
You're lost and you're lonely, I've been to long there
So I'll follow, I'll follow you...anywhere
