Verse 1
Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
When a Cadillac stopped for her
Verse 2
And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you,
Are you goin' my way?"
Yeah, that's when it happened
The world caught fire that day
Chorus
And she went down - swingin'
Yeah, she went down - swingin'
Verse 3
Well, she was over twenty-one
In trouble with the law
And it didn't faze her none
She called her mother-in-law
Verse 4
And said I need a little money
I knew I could count on you
After that night in Vegas
And the hell that we went through
Chorus
We went down - swingin' - like Benny Goodman
Yeah, we went down - swingin'

Verse 5
Moonlight on the interstate
She was 'cross the Georgia line
Looked out the window feeling great
Yeah, it had to come in time
Verse 6
And she said I'm never goin' back
She said at last I'm free
I wish ma could see me now,
She'd be so proud of me
Chorus
She went down - swingin' - like Glenn Miller
Yeah, she went down - swingin' - like Tommy Dorsey
Yeah, she went down - swingin' - like Sammy Davis
She went down - swingin' - like Sonny Liston
