Verse 1:
The wheels of my old car
Are turnin' burnin'
Up the highway
Tonight that girl of mine
Will be yearnin' or not learnin'
(no3) (no3)
To see things my way
She hurt me for the very last time
I'm not hangin' around
I'll show her I can leave her behind
/
I'm gettin' out of town (gettin' out of town)
/
I won't back down (I won't back down)
I won't back down (I won't back down)
Chorus:
[2: The] Last exit to Brooklyn
[2: The] Last chance to turn around
[2: The] Last exit to Brooklyn
Gonna keep these wheels of mine
Coverin' ground
Verse 2 [w/intro riff]:
Last night I caught that girl
Lyin' tryin'
To deceive me
And now all of these tears
She's cryin' I'm not buyin'
You better believe me
She swore that she was mine alone
Our love would never die
I'm leavin' now for parts unknown
I saw her with that guy (saw her with that guy)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
I'll be passin' by (I'll be passin' by)
[repeat chorus]
Coda [repeat to fade]:
[1: On] The last exit to Brooklyn
The last chance to turn around
