´´There we was….hard as it may seem to believe, was me and the Big Man, had a flat tire, stuck on this dark road in the middle of the night, three o´clock in the morning….we were sitting on the side of the road, figuring out how we were gonna get home….tried hitchhiking but nobody´d pick us up…then all of a sudden out of the sky we saw screaming down, passed us doing about 3 million miles an hour, at least (strange guitar sound) first gear….slammed on the brakes about a mile down the road, came back hovering about ten feet off the ground was this big flying saucer, it said on the side ´Big Daddy Don Garlitz - Born to Win´….so we tapped on the outside, a little green guy stook his head out, stuck his head out (chuckles) and said ´Do you guys know the way to the New Jersey Turnpike ?´….we laughed, we thought he was kidding, we said ´Mister….you are looking at the New Jersey Turnpike….and the Garden State Parkway too (chuckles)….don´t forget it´….so we figured we´d strike a deal with this guy, he says ´Ok, ok, I give you guys, you guys got one wish….just tell me how to get to the Turnpike so I´ll get back to Mars´ so we thought about it for a while, we thought about a million bucks, no (?), thought about new clothes but we already had new clothes, thought about, uh….a new car, no, no, so we said ´We got it, we got it….Mister Spaceman, you think you can set us up ? you think you can set us up to be movie stars ?´ ´No´, he said ´No, forget that, forget that, but would you, but would you settle for rock and roll ?´….”
