She Said, "Drive On, Driver"

She Said, Drive On, Driver - Danny O'Keefe

Written by：Arif Mardin

I heard a woman screamin' in the alley

Oh Lord won't your come and rescue me

Seems that I have got myself in trouble

Looks like murder in the third degree

When he picked me up he was a sailor

But when he got me here

He was a cop

He said I think it's time you learned a lesson

I said man ain't it time your learned to stop

Drive on driver

We're goin' for a ride

We're runnin' into trouble

And we're goin' to collide

In his pants he had a deadly weapon

But his silver bullet would not shoot

He slugged me till he'd gotten what he wanted

Ain't it strange the way you find a substitute

He said that's all there is

It's over

I said you're wrong man it's just about to start

I keep a blade for sentimental reasons

And in a rage I drove it through his heart

Drive on

Drive on driver

We're goin' for a ride

We're runnin' into trouble

And we're goin' to collide

Someone run and find a straight policeman

Tell him I have killed a crooked one

I won't wait you may be gone forever

Leave me with the bullets and the gun

When you give a hungry man a license

To do most ever that he please

He'll lead you the point of desperation

And then he'll want to drive you

To your knees

Drive on driver

We're goin' for a ride

We're runnin' into trouble

And we're goin' to collide
