Well I'm game for just about anything but the game you've named I ain't gonna play
You say you take a little drink and we'll go for a ride on a star
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
That happy pill you're takin' you say is a little weak
And you wanna give me one so you say I won't go to sleep
Well your hands're a gettin' friendly but I know exactly where they are
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
I'm a little bit warm but that don't mean I'm on fire
You wanna take me for a ride in the back seat of your car
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
[ dobro - steel ]
You wanna give me a lift...
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
