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
