Passenger 24 Songtext
von Whitehorse

Passenger number 24
Got a bag of cocaine, cut my hair short
Gonna fill it up with diesel, American scum
Left a girl in Amarillo ′bout as sweet as rum
A girl in Amarillo 'bout as sweet as rum

I′ve a Christian name, a cross in ink
But God don't like it when a poor man think
I'm a boot camp warrior, United States vet
I got a girl in Orange County, she don′t know me yet
A girl in Orange County don′t know me yet

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh


Well, it's 4 AM, I′m still a hound
We dropped a mean-talking yankee off in the last town
If I were in Kentucky, I'd be shooting my goons
Stoned as a driver, chasing the moon
A hopped up driver, he′s chasing the moon

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Buying smokes for kids, and I pocket the change
Grab a deli, stick a barely legal home on the range
Jump on the bus, Essie's gun in the wheel
Leaving dust in my tracks, putting pedal to steel
Dust in my tracks, pedal to steel

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh


Passenger number 24
Got a bag of cocaine, cut my hair short
We′re gonna fill it up with diesel, American scum
Left a girl in Amarillo 'bout as sweet as rum
A girl in Amarillo 'bout as sweet as rum
As rum
