I'll tell ya again just like I told you before--
we were driving out on route thirty-four;
we were coming back home after a night at the bars,
it was a beautiful night--there was nothing but stars!
About eleven miles from town,
wouldn't ya know it, my Chevy broke down...
I pulled it over and I locked all the doors,
we started walking, Frankie was sore,
and then we seen this big ol' light a comin' down from the sky...
I said to Frankie, "Is this just what it's like when you die?"
We started shaking, and everything glowed,
And then it landed, right there in the road--
It was a Great Big Fiery Wheel!!
It was flashin' and turnin' just like in the movies!
And I'd never thought they was real,
flyin' around in the silvery moonlight!
(and then they come out--but I didn't see a door,
they walk up to us, I think there was four)
Their eyes were golden, they were perfectly round,
they started talkin' but they didn't make a sound,
and then one asked me if I didn't want to come inside;
and Frankie said, "Hey, Zeke, I think they're going to give us a ride!"
And just like that--in the blink of an eye--
we were standing right there--inside!--and then it started to rise!!
and we were flying around..............................
The next thing I knew we were back on the ground,
I didn't know if I was lost or I's found!
My head was hurtin', I didn't know whether to
laugh or to cry;
and I saw Frankie, he was wavin' his hands at the sky!
(he went to preachin' a world full of woe,
and where he's gone to, I really don't know)
It's been a year now and I ain't been the same,
I walk around sometimes I don't know my name!
My baby left me, and she didn't even have to say why,
and I just can't hold a job no matter how hard I try!
And everybody thinks I'm insane--every time you know I try to explain--
It was a Great Big Fiery Wheel,
it was flashin' and turnin' just like in the movies,
and I never thought they was real,
flyin' around in the silvery moonlight!
