[Verse 1]
N.C.
 I bought a brand new airmobile
       N.C.
'Twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal
      N.C.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
N.C.
 Pushin’ on the button, you will hear her sing
[Chorus]
        A
Now you can't catch me
          E
Baby, you can't catch me
             B

You know I'm going' like cool breeze

E
 New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
     E
I was rolling slowly cause of drizzling showers
E
 Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me
         E
Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney
E
 I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll
E
 Moaning siren, 'twas the state patrol
E
 I let out my wings, then I blew my horn
E
 Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborne
[Chorus]
    A
You can't catch me
          E
Baby, you can't catch me

E
 Flying with my baby last Saturday night
E
 Wasn't a gray cloud floating in sight
E
 Big, full moon, shining up above
E
 Cuddle up, honey, be my love
E
 Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
E
 I'm going to name you Maybellene
E
 Flying on the beam, set on flight control
E
 Radio tuned to rock and roll
E
 Two, three hours passed us by,
E
 Altitude dropped into five-o-five
E
 Fuel consumption, way too fast
E
 Let's get on home before we run out of gas
[Chorus]
        A
Now you can't catch me
          E
Baby, you can't catch me
