Payment

Well the car broke down somewhere near Memphis

About another forty miles to go

Here we were stranded in the middle of nowhere

We were freezing in the falling snow

And if we only had a map or compass

'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea

Which way to go

Now should we walk and then in what direction

Or do we stay inside this wrecked machine

Or should we try to find a petrol station

And make a fire with the gasoline

And if we only had some food or water

'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea

Which way to go

After a week we were getting real hungry

Sick and tired of playing guitar

A truck drove by this unlucky guy

We prepared him for dinner and took his car

So we hit the road and headed for the city

When we got there no one said a word

Here we were sitting looking at each other

With a question mark above our heads

And if we only had a reason to be here

'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea

What I'm doing in here
