Well, the car broke down somewhere near Memphis About another forty miles to go Here we were stranded in the middle of nowhere We were freezing in the falling snow And if we only had a map or compass 'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea Which way to go Now should we walk and then in what direction Or do we stay inside this wrecked machine? Or should we try to find a petrol station And make a fire with the gasoline? And if we only had some food or water 'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea Which way to go After a week we were getting real hungry Sick and tired of playing guitar A truck drove by, this unlucky guy We prepared him for dinner and took his car So we hit the road and headed for the city When we got there, no one said a word Here we were sitting looking at each other With a question mark above our heads And if we only had a reason to be here 'Cause I haven't got the faintest idea What I'm doing in here
