Lyrics for Album: I Want My Money Back [2003]
(Jim Collins/Dean Dillon)
He was walkin' in the parkin' lot
When she finally caught up with him
Said, "Hey, boy, you forgot your keys
Is that your car?" She ran her fingers 'cross the hood
An' told him: "I've never been in one of these."
He said: "Hop in an' I'll take you for a ride
Around the block, if you got the time?"
She said, as she took her apron off:
"I must be out of my mind."
He pushed a button an' the ragtop came down
Pushed another an' the music came on
Pushed it to the floor an' off they went
She asked his name: he told her
He asked her name: she told him
Said, "You wanna head back?" She said, "Not yet.
It feels good to have the sun on my face
An' the wind blowin' through my hair."
He said, "Where to next?"
An' she said, "I don't care."
"I've never been anywhere, I've never done anything
'Cept wait on tables in that bar: small talk an' small change
I've never loved anyone, I've never had someone who care
Boy, until you came along, I've never been anywhere."
They drove around for what seemed for hours
In the sky the sun was settin'
Said, "Where do you live? I'll drive you home."
He walked her up to the front porch screen door.
On her lips, she felt his kisses.
He said: "Goodbye.", She said: "So long."
Well, he got in his car an' drove away
But then he stopped an' threw it in reverse
An' she came runnin' off that front proch
An' he put his arms 'round her.
"I've never been anywhere, I've never done anything.
But work in some dead-end job, chasin' after dead-end dreams
But, girl, you brought my life to life, your smile is like a breath of air
Yeah, until you came along, I've never been anywhere
I've never been anywhere."
He was walkin' in the parkin' lot
When she finally caught up with him
Said, "Hey, boy, you forgot your keys..."
