About three miles from border town, the california nevada line The morning sun does rise and fall, and the midnight wind it does whistle and wind Like a dust cloud from the flatland with the force of the mountain behind Stood in front of me, a vision ya see, with her thumb aimed to the sky Yes she jumped inside and spoke her name, Cecelia Dee from Abilene I caught her eyes, as I was hypnotized, like a fire fed with kerosene Just one look, that was all it took, I was trying to put up the good fight but I was hooked Down the road a ways she said to me, and then well see how far we go Chorus Steep grade, sharp curves, a treacherous stretch of highway Put me in a tailspin that I just might never get out of Steep grade, sharp curves, said she was going my way Wishin now til my dying day that I had never believed her Yeah, there began the ride of my life ,oh cheap drinks and neon lights My vision, my lines of reality blurred, no heaven or hell, no wrong or right Took my face to her hands and kissed me like none ever before Said do what you want, do what you will but dont you dare leave me tonight [ Chorus ] Now its three days later the time doesnt matter, just tell me wheres my watch and my cash Forgive me please for how I might have behaved, for I cant seem to remember what happened last It was like a dream, one of heavens schemes, Cecelia Dee from Abilene Last thing I remember she was smilin like the devil and laughing like all hell As she rode out of sight See Yonder Mountain String Band LiveGet tickets as low as 68You might also like[ Chorus ]
