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 want to 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."
