  The wheels of my old car
  Are turnin' burnin'
  Up the highway
  Tonight that girl of mine
  Will be yearnin' or not learnin'
  To see things my way
  She  hurt me for the very  last time
  I'm  not hangin'  around
  I'll  show her I can leave  her behind
  I'm  gettin' out of town  (gettin' out of town)
  I won't back down  (I won't back down)
  I won't back down  (I won't back down)
   Last  exit to Brooklyn
   Last  chance to turn around
   Last  exit to Brooklyn
  Gonna keep  these wheels  of mine
  Coverin'  ground
 Verse 2 :
  Last night I caught that girl
  Lyin' tryin'
  To deceive me
  And now all of these tears
  She's cryin' I'm not buyin'
  You better believe me
  She swore that she was mine alone
  Our love would never die
  I'm leavin' now for parts unknown
  I saw her with that guy (saw her with that guy)
  That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
  I'll be passin' by (I'll be passin' by)
 Coda :
   The last  exit to Brooklyn
  The last  chance to turn around
 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
