Song Lyrics:

I'm, driving 'cross 80,
With sweet little Sadie
Shotgun by my side.

We're headin' for Reno
Gonna hit the casino
Oh, what a ride

Gotta hit that gas and get there as fast as I can
Don't hit the brakes, for goodness sake's you fool!
The time is melting away in front of my eyes.
Oh we're goin to the place with no rules

Sweet anticipation
Gotta be patient
Gotta stay cool.

Oh no, the check engine light's on
What the hell could be wrong?
Am I low on fuel?

But way out here I can't find a gas station
Area 51's up around the bend
Nothing's gonna stop my sweet elation
Wait! I see a sign, oh Lord, Amen!

{chorus}
Why do these crazy things keep happenin' to me
Throughout my lifetime?
Why do these crazy things keep happenin' to me
Throughout my lifetime?
Why do these crazy things keep happenin' to me
Is this the way that everything is meant to be?
Can you tell me?
Will somebody tell me?

Out, drivin' cross 80,
Doin' bout 80
Crazy thoughts in my mind

We're headin for Reno
Gonna meet up with Gino
Gonna get down inside

I gotta hit that gas and get there as fast as I can
Don't hit the brakes, for goodness sake's you fool
Time is melting away in front of my eyes
Oh we're goin to the place with no rules

{chorus} {repeat}

Why do these crazy things keep happenin' to me
Is this the way that everything is meant to be?
Can you tell me?
Will somebody tell me?
Somebody tell me... somebody tell me... somebody tell me.
