Drive, She Said

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¨c¨cjust for a minute¨c¨c

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¨c¨c

Hey, y'all, get outta my way!¨c¨call ya sunday drivers!

Hey, you want one of these, ah, slim jims? they're good!

What? ¨c¨cwhat? you don't¨c¨cyou 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.
