We were a half mile high on the Ferris wheel
   At our old county fair
   I didn't even know we had trouble until
   She told me way up there
   That's when my life started spinning round
   My world came crashing to the ground
   The day that she left Tulsa
  
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
   With the caution lights flashing in the passing lane
   From a bridge I watched our dreams goin' down the drain
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
  
   No she wasn't showing yet but she'd be by Christmas time
   Up there like a fool I took for granted it was mine.
   She never came out and told me that I was wrong
   But all of a sudden the light came on
   The day that she left Tulsa
  
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
   With the caution lights flashing in the passing lane
   From a bridge I watched our dreams goin' down the drain
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
  
   I guess she thought the truth would end up driving me away
   Well she was wrong but I never had the chance to say
   The day that she left Tulsa
  
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
  
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
   With the caution lights flashing in the passing lane
   From a bridge I watched our dreams goin' down the drain
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
  
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
   In a Chevy in a hurry in the pouring down rain
