Drive She Said

Sittin' right behind me I could smell her perfume

It was something I smelled before

Went through a red light while I spilled my drink

I could feel something sticky on the floor

I said, "Miss you gotta tell me where yo wanna go to,

I can't keep driving 'round the same block."

Then 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 ruad...

CHORUS

And just drive," she said

"Just drive," she said

Well, I watched her grip 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 off my donut then I offered her one

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 then the moon disappeared and it started to rain

So I turned the windshield 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..."

And 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' something...

CHORUS

We pulled out of 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 leter on when the squad cars came 'round

I ate a handful 'a peanuts and then I told 'em this

"I don't remember much...

Just keep your haands on the wheel, and just drive, she said."
