"I'm gonna hit the highway Like a battering ram"/ Bat out of Hell

Maybe this car was stolen once

"And I'm driving a stolen car Down on Eldridge Avenue"/ Stolen Car

"I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive"/ Wanted dead or alive

Just a pretty nice photo
