I could smell her perfume
It was somethin' I'd smelled before
I could feel somethin' sticky on the floor
I said "miss, you've gotta tell me
I can't keep drivin' round the same block"
And pulled the gum off my shoe
And then she told me "just shut up
And keep your eyes on the road"
"and just drive," she said
Well, I watched her put her hands
While I scratched the bald spot on my head
I knew then that my cab was just
But I shut up and drove, like she said
I took a bite of my doughnut
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 repeat (okay, okay!)
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¨c¨cjust for a minute¨c¨c
I thought I saw the both of us on some kinda tropical island someplace.
Walkin' down a white sandy beach.
She was fixin' her hair in the mirror
Drove my cab fast towards the pier
And turned and blew me a kiss
And later on, when the squad car came 'round
I ate a handful of peanuts
"I don't rememeber much, except 'just keep your hands on the wheel'"
Hey, y'all, get outta my way!¨c¨call ya Sunday drivers!
Hey, you want one of these, ah, slim jims? they're good!
What? ¨c¨cwhat? you don't¨c¨cyou don't want one?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
I know, I know, anchorage, that's where I seen ya, anchorage.
I'm sorry, I don't go in that part of town anymore.
I don't need my windows washed.
