He took a drive down the coast highway
Blowin where the air was fresh and clean
He had a plan that said Ill do it my way
Rollin from the desert to the sea
Hit twenty-one years old up in prison
Just a little night job with a stolen key
Two years liftin weights and pumpin iron there in his cell
He came out lookin just like mohammed ali
He drove around tailgating trucks and busses
Whistling some new michael jackson tune
He thought back on his momma and what she told him long ago
Do it right son, please, dont do it wrong
Hes goin home
Gonna buy some stuff down at the pier
Hes all alone
Hes got a radio, a gun, and some japanese beer
And on the highway he saw the big cars in line
And he thought, behind every fortune... theres got to be a crime
He took a drive down the coast highway
Blowin where the air was fresh and clean
He had a plan that said Ill do it my way
But he could not plan for what he couldnt see
Hes goin home
All alone
And he stopped at a couple of markets and drug stores along the way
Hed just walk up and down the aisle and smileccfunny that way
The last place he drove into had to be my place
They said hed run out of gas anyway
And as he walked up to the counter with a blue steel gun in his hand
I took out my long rifle and I blew him away
I blew him away
