| Sittin' right behind me | |
| I could smell her perfume | |
| It was somethin' | |
| I'd smelled before | |
| Went through a red light | |
| While I spilled my drink | |
| I could feel somethin' sticky on the floor | |
| I said "Miss, you've gotta tell me Where you wanna go to I can't keep drivin' round the same block" | |
| So I crumpled my cup | |
| And pulled the gum off my shoe | |
| And then she told me "Just shut up And keep your eyes on the road" | |
| Chorus: "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said | |
| Well, I watched her put her hands | |
| On the bag in her lap | |
| While I scratched the bald spot on my head | |
| I knew then that my cab was just | |
| A getaway car | |
| But I shut up and drove, like she said | |
| I took a bite of my doughnut | |
| And I offered her one | |
| And I said "Lady, are you in a fix?" | |
| Then she reached in her purse | |
| And she pulled out a gun, and said "Now just shut up, and keep your hands on the wheel" | |
| Chorus repeat (Okay, okay!) spoken | |
| Then the moon disappeared, and it started to rain, | |
| So I put the wipers on full. | |
| And on the bag in her lap | |
| I saw the name of a big bank downtown. | |
| And I said, "You don't have to worry about me, nope!" | |
| When I turned the headlights on––just for a minute–– | |
| I thought | |
| I saw the both of us on some kinda tropical island someplace. | |
| Walkin' down a white sandy beach. | |
| Eatin' somethin'... | |
| Chorus repeat | |
| We pulled outta traffic | |
| Down a dark side street | |
| She was fixin' her hair in the mirror | |
| I made a left turn | |
| At a yellow light | |
| Drove my cab fast towards the pier | |
| She boarded the boat | |
| And turned and blew me a kiss | |
| And later on, when the squad car came 'round | |
| I ate a handful of peanuts | |
| And I told 'em this "I don't rememeber much, except 'Just keep your hands on the wheel'" | |
| Chorus repeat until fade spoken: | |
| Hey, hey, uh–– | |
| Hey, y'all, get outta my way!––all ya sunday drivers! | |
| Hey, you want one of these, ah, | |
| Slim Jims? | |
| They're good! | |
| What?––what? | |
| You don't––you don't want one? | |
| Well they're 100% meat! | |
| Haven't I seen you somewhere before? | |
| I know, I know, | |
| Anchorage, that's where | |
| I seen ya, | |
| Anchorage. | |
| Well, where you goin'? | |
| I'm sorry, | |
| I don't go in that part of town anymore. | |
| I don't need my windows washed. |
| Sittin' right behind me | |
| I could smell her perfume | |
| It was somethin' | |
| I' d smelled before | |
| Went through a red light | |
