Summary of Rickie Lee Jones's Last Chance Texaco

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I named the book Last Chance Texaco because I spent most of my life in cars, vans, and buses. I watched life approach and recede. I was always running away from and moving to new life, but I could never lay down roots.

#2 I did drugs like I did everything else. On fire, with no back door. I escaped, of course, and I carried my heart out in a birdcage. But she was burned, and she cried so loud, casting wild notes over water and cloud.

#3 I grew up in the Arizona of the 1960s. Phoenix was a quiet place in the desert, and the radio was our only means of touching the larger world. I knew America was succumbing to an expanding postwar pressure of social symmetry: be alike, fall in line.

#4 The desert is a remnant of countless millions of years of other living things. The skeletons of their lives are the dirt of our cactus gardens. We too will become fossilized pages in some unimaginable future.
