My name is Frank Davis, drive a Dixie 109
      B                      E
I was out on Highway 17, just south of Camden Line

It was down there in the heart of Wilsonville where I met my fate
        B                                        E
She was standing outside the bar room said she was waiting for a date
      A                         E
But I knew that that was just a line
      A                               E
And I knew I was messin' with a losin' kind


Well I knew what we were both doing, and I knew that you can't win
             B                                                        E
But when the light turned green, I reached across the seat, popped the lock and she slid in

She said she liked Mexican music, she knew a place if I had the time
        B
Well we had a few drinks and we danced a while
             E
I pulled her close, she didn't mind
           A                     E
And what I knew kinda slipped my mind
         B                                     E
And I couldn't resist her messin' with a losin' kind


Well we drove around in my Buick, getting drunk and having fun
        B                                    E
Well we ended up at this Best Western out on Highway 101

It was around 3 a.m. we went out to this empty little road side bar
             B
It was there the cash register was open 
             E
It was there I hit that guy to hard
      A                                  E
But I knew when I hit him for the second time
           B                                      E
That one attracts the other when you're the losin' kind

Well I grabbed her hand to get out of there

And I felt like I was gonna be sick
         B                                                E
And a half hour later the sleet started come down and that highway got pretty slick

I seen some lights in my rear-view mirror I guess I panicked and gave her a gun
            B                                 E
Well then I wrapped us around a telephone pole south on Highway 101

Well she just stumbled out on to the banks

And sat down in a pout
       B                                E
Well I kicked out the driver side window but buddy when I got out

Well all I had to greet me was a Highway Patrolman's 45 
   B                                               E
He looked at the wreak and then he said "Son you're lucky to be alive"
               A                                E
"Well Sir I'll think that one over if you don't mind
         B                                          E
Now luck ain't much good to you when it's the losin' kind"
