Carl Hiaasen, on co-writing the song with Zevon: “Warren, of course, is perusing the entire [tourist brochure] collection. He snatches one and it says ‘Seminole Bingo’.

[Verse 1]
I'm a junk bond king
And I'm on the run

I got my hands on the wheel
I got gas in the tank
I got a suitcase full of money
From a Luxembourg bank
[Verse 2]
We didn't stop 'til we got to Big Cypress
Wandered in to the Legion Hall

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And my Wall Street wiles
Don't help me even slightly
'Cause I never have the numbers

[Verse 4]
I cashed in the last of my Triple B bonds
Bought a double-wide on the Tamiami Trail
I parked it right outside the reservation
Fifteen minutes from the Collier County Jail
[Refrain]
And the SEC is far behind
Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos
A long way from Liechtenstein
I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Well, the SEC is far behind
Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos
A long way from Liechtenstein
I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo
