Shiny Red Automobile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I pulled out of St. Paul and started my haul Just as lonesome as a trucker can feel And from the corner of my eye, I saw her flash by In a shiny red automobile Well, she winked her taillight and then she passed out of sight I wondered if the vision was real So I let my Jimmy roll, and I made it my goal To catch that shiny red automobile [Verse 2] Well, it started to rain and I slowed down again There were dangerous curves up ahead Then my foot hit the floor as down the highway I saw Another flash of shiny red It was the radar patrol, and he'd seen my billfold But I guess she must've got a better deal I went down in their files while she paid with a smile In her shiny red automobile [Verse 3] When she stopped to get gas, not wanting to pass I pulled in and then I started to chat But she gave me the breeze until I shook at the knees And she thought she'd put a finish to that So I said with a smile, "I guess I'll cool it for a while If you're sure that's the way that you feel" But when she moved down the road and I kept dragging my load Behind a shiny red automobile [Verse 4] We made pretty good time to the Alabama line When she threw a rod and waved my Jimmy down Then she swallowed her pride and said she'd pay for the ride If only I would take her into town But the pretty young queen had to blow the whole scene I had a swinging thing waiting in Mobile So I left her high and dry and wondering why In her shiny red automobile [Outro] So I left her high and dry, and wondering why In her shiny red automobile
