I had a big black Pontiac, she burned a little oil but she flew
We had it all there in the back, baby, I burned for you
We were bulletproof, we were bathed in the neon glow
Underneath the stars of love and Texaco

You had a long dark history, some of it was even true
Baby, you were enough for me and I tried to be enough for you
We were bulletproof, nobody ever told us, no
Didn't need nothin' but love and Texaco

And every night when the trucks'd go by
We'd gas her up, a kiss for luck and we'd let her fly

I have a sweet sweet memory of a boy I used to know
And baby, it's still a mystery how I ever could have let him go
But we were living proof that life is a long hard road
And you can't run forever on love and Texaco
