Drive She Said

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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] "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said (Okay, okay!) [Bridge; 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] "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said [Verse 3] 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 remember much, except 'Just keep your hands on the wheel'" [Chorus] "And just drive," she said "Just drive," she said "Just drive," she said [Outro] 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
