Son of Mustang Ford Lyrics
Yeah Mustang take me
Mustang Ford take me far away
Been driving for days now
Been driving to take the pain away
Gotta get some love now
Love back in my veins, gotta kill this pain
Drove down to the shoreline
Hey shoreline take me far away
There was a sign by the roadside
Back by the road is where my body's layin'
Hallucinogen headlamps
My sane scape's disrupted in a pickup truck
Drive
Hallucinogen headlamps
My sane scape's disrupted in a pickup truck
(The radio still plays
Among the mangled metal frays
Petroleum spirit daze)
Been drivin' for days now Oh Yeah
There was a sign by the roadside Oh Yeah
Gotta get some love now
Love back in my veins, gotta quit this pain
Do you satisfy my soul (yeah, such a shame)
I got clean out of control (soul ride train train)
Held ransom, Rock 'n Roll
Mustang Ford take me far away
Been driving for days now
Been driving to take the pain away
Gotta get some love now
Love back in my veins, gotta kill this pain
Hey shoreline take me far away
There was a sign by the roadside
Back by the road is where my body's layin'
Hallucinogen headlamps
My sane scape's disrupted in a pickup truck
Drive
My sane scape's disrupted in a pickup truck
(The radio still plays
Among the mangled metal frays
Petroleum spirit daze)
There was a sign by the roadside Oh Yeah
Gotta get some love now
Love back in my veins, gotta quit this pain
I got clean out of control (soul ride train train)
Held ransom, Rock 'n Roll

Brilliant song, all-too-often overlooked as the classic that it is! I'd say it's about crashing a car while driving on drugs... At least that's my literal interpretation
To me, this is the perspective of someone who had been killed in a car crash some time before, but has yet to realize it beyond the pain of not getting out of that state of limbo; neither in heaven or in hell... While there is the realization that the body they saw was their own, they just are not permitted to realize what exactly this means due to the pain of their own demise.
In retrospect, I finished "The Hitch-Hiker" - season 1, episode 16 of The Twilight Zone... and this song almost perfectly fits the premise of both my previous comment and the song.
The premise of the episode is that a woman is travelling across the country and, following a tire blowout, always encounters a hitchhiker she never picks up. It slowly makes her erratic and paranoid, and when she finally tries to call her mother to tell her about all of this, she finds out her mother is still greiving the loss of her daughter following an accident weeks before due to a tire blowout at speed...
So... Yeah... Pretty damn cool...
