I was barely 17 when the song was released on July 25, 1970 and was probably just old enough to know what a Victrola...although there likely were kids younger than me that knew but that depended upon, for the most part, as to whether your folks or grandfolks had one or ever mentioned one in conversation as no one was playing them any more even back then over 45 years ago, now. How many kids 18 or younger do you think might know in this day and age, December 2015?

I saw a slight distraction standing by a road

Cruising on to the junction I...
Noticed some peculiar function
I'm a roller coaster, show me town
I'm on a wave of fear
Well, she caught my eye
...
Well I dusted up along the highway
...
I hear she combed (the) horizon
Oh, she flyin' high
She was goin' down, movin' too fast
“Do you wanna?” she was thinking, “Cannot last.”
