Drive She Said lyrics

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.`
