lyrics

She had legs that were made to order in the air on the outskirts of town
Seven miles from the 66 station, Maria's Fury broke down
She kicked the tires, ripped a hole in her stockings and scuffed up her red F.M.P.s
Chipped a nail as she hoisted her hood, shouting obscenities

She cried, "Lord of mercy! I ain't no mechanic! I can't even change a flat tire!
But, I don't need to see all these idiot lights to know that my engine's on fire.
If you just see me through this one incident I'll never prowl the truck stop again."
She rolled her brown eyes, crossed her fingers, and thought of her most recent sin

El Pasillo del Diablo
It's time to even the score
Take a look-see through the peephole
Smile when you open the door
It's a long walk to the truck stop that lights up route 54
El Pasillo del Diablo, the Devil's corridor

She had a great aspiration of ending up on a barstool hoovering cheap cigarettes
Chugging down coin beer, getting laid by some trucker and losing a couple bar bets
But now she's winding her way home deep in the darkness, her Plymouth parked down in the ditch
Thinking about changing her life's occupation, maybe it's time for a switch

El Pasillo del Diablo
It's time to even the score
Time to pay up and settle your tab
Pick your clothes up off the floor
Twenty dollars got you twenty minutes, but not one sweet minute more
El Pasillo del Diablo, the Devil's corridor

She had legs that were made to order in the air on the outskirts of town
