He was driving in his
Jaguar on the outskirts of town
Admiring his upholstery and the
dashboard's woody brown
He would think about the
Aztecs and the
Mayans and the
Sioux
And the warrior's code for what's
a modern man to do
He remembered when the music
used to be magic
Before it was just another
software gadget
He was up on his luck, but down on desire
He was cruisin' these streets and
lookin' for a fight
Now, on the other hand, we got
Peggy
Sue
Who wasn't bothered by
these questions
Cause she knew what a girl could do
She put her
thumb out in the road
And hitched her skirt up high
The sound of his disc brakes squealing
And made the birds fly high, high
He said, where are you going?
And she settled in her seat
She crossed her legs and put
his hand on her knee
She said, consider me your
dream come true
You can throw away your playboy
In the penthouse too
Now of course this was too
much for him to handle
He fell for his wallet like a man about
to take a big gamble
He thought about
Altman and
Thelma and
Louise
He thought about his wife who he never
seemed able to please
Ah, head from out of nowhere,
she pulled out a gun
Said, if was you, I'd get moving some
He gulped real hard, held his breath
Steady his steering,
put his hand back on the armrest
Someone
down the road,
she said, my name is
Peggy
Sue
He said, call me
Buddy, she said,
Buddy, nice to meet you
She let him have his way
and then took his keys
He was standing by the highway when she
shot him right through the knees
Then came the day she
stood before the judge
The courtroom was packed and
Buddy was on his crutch
The judge looked down, said,
explain your actions
Legacy said,
Your
Honor, I only get dissatisfaction
Thank for
