    Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
    They must be your rich friends that knew you in the city

    The race out on the highway and the turn nobody's seen
    Now you're riding in that long black limousine

    You said the day you left me that you would be returning

    Now you're riding in that long black limousine

    The papers told of how you lost your life
    Of the party and the fatal crash that night
    The race out on the highway and the turn nobody's seen
    Now you're riding in that long black limousine
    Now you're
