El Camino

There was something about him
She couldn't put her finger on
Made her heart start beating
And next her mind was gone
And though he didn't look that great
And never did treat her good
She couldn't stay away
Even though she knew she should

He was a no good so and so
Driving an old El Camino
She was a good girl
Cleaning in a Reno casino
Her Mama said the boy in the El Camino is a no no
But at night she'd ride with him in the El Camino

He said the time has come
For us to settle down
And they bought a little dump
Way out on the edge of town
Then more and more
She found herself all alone
And he didn't even call
When for days he didn't come home

He was a no good so and so
Driving an old El Camino
She was a good girl
Cleaning in a Reno casino
Her Mama said the boy in the El Camino is a no no
And at night she wish she'd gone in the El Camino

Well the days got lonely
And nights got long and cold
When the kids were in school
Life was feeling pretty old
And a lot of the time
She was lying and crying in bed
Wishing she'd done just like her Mama said

He was a no good so and so
Driving an old El Camino
She was a good girl
Cleaning in a Reno casino
Her Mama said the boy in the El Camino is a no no
And tonight she'll drive away in the El Camino

Yeah tonight she'll drive away in the El Camino
