Drove out
to the desert in a pickup truck
Drank a toast to
Parsons, then they lit up
Bathed in the moonlight
of a cool summer night
They listened to
Dylan an d talked about life
Until they ran out of
whiskey and things to say
They had to take a gas
and got on back to
L .A.
They're flying up and
down the boulevard
Crawling up
Hollywood and by
They're throwing stones and
stepping way over the line
They're breaking all the rules
tonight
Headed down to
Memphis, in a cherry red vest
Signed the wall at
Graceland, looked around in a jet
Parked up on
Union, walked down on
Beale
Skitty dipped in the
Ole
Miss just to see how it'd feel
Then he asked her to marry
him and she said okay
Now the old man river will
never be the same
They're making love out
on the interstate
Swimming in the left lane
passing time
They're throwing stones and
stepping way over the line
They're breaking all the rules
tonight
Just a kid from
Texas, in an old
Mustang
Set out with a plan,
and had a song to sing
He wound up in
Nashville, with all the drunks and whores
But he's saving face,
keeping score
Cause he's on a mission,
he's got it all
He's got a loud guitar,
he's kicking down the walls
Cause he's had all he can
take from this old town
With a finger pointing
toward the sky
He's throwing stones and
stepping way over the line
He's breaking all the rules tonight
He's throwing stones and
stepping way over the line
He's breaking in all the rooms tonight
