[Verse 1]
EI ain't going to a friend's house
And I ain't going to mAy place of work
And I ain't going to F#ma baseball game or a picture show
BI'm just drivin' in my car
EAnd I ain't looking at my watch now
'Cos I ain't got no place Ato go
A man says "Hey, would you like a F#mwindow shine?"
I said "a-thank you sir, I'm-a doing fine, BI'm just drivin' in my car."
[Chorus]
EEven though it looks like thAings ain't going my way
EI, didn't get promoted
AMy, wife she done left me
EAnd I, just got evicted
AAnd I, think I'm going bald now
EAnd, now all I got is
AA bottle of booze, and thiF#Ms here Thunderbird
BAnd I'll be damned if it's insured
[Verse 2]
EAnd I ain't looking at the stop signs
And I ain't looking at no Atraffic lights
And I'm not looking at the F#mchildren on the crosswalk
BI'm just drivin' in my car
EAnd I'm just sipping on my whiskey
And I'm just sucking down somAe Valium
And I ain't worried about nF#mo side effects from the Prozac
BI'm just drivin' in my car
E"How do ya do hitchiking mama?
Get in the car and take Aa ride with me."
She says "Get your damn F#mhands off of me."
I say "Don't worry ma'am, I'm a friend you see, and wBe're just drivin' in my car."
[Chorus]
EAnd now the two of us are tearing Aup the highway
EWith, no registration
AI, ain't got no headlights
ESo I, can't see a damn thing
AAnd, what the hell was that now?
EI, hope it wasn't a human
AAnd now I'm getting heat from this girF#ml that I just picked up off the road
BAnd she's only 15 years old
F#mShe's only 1B5 years old
[Verse 3]
E"How do you do, Mr. Policeman?
How's life treating you on thAe streets today?"
He says "Pull over son, F#mwalk a straight line."
I say "A-thank you sir, I'm-a doing fine, I'm just Bdrivin' in my car."
EWhat's them red lights behind me flashing?
What's that there Achopper up above?
The sign says "Checkpoint F#mat the county line."
I say "a-thank you folks, I'm-a doing fine, BI'm just drivin' in my car."
[Outro]
EI'm just drF#mivin' in my cBar
EI'm just drF#mivin' in my cBar
F#mShe's only 15 Byears old
F#mAnd BI'm just drivin' in my car
