| Sittin' in a bar room
|
| Joplin, Missouri
|
| Texas on my mind
|
| Got no way to get there
|
| Got no need to hurry
|
| All I got is my time
|
| In walks a lady
|
| Heart be still!
|
| In walks a lady with a Coupe de Ville
|
| She asked for someone new
|
| To ride Tulsa way
|
| She said she had to be there
|
| Yesterday
|
| Said I need a ride
|
| A little further south
|
| She said «Climb on in, boy
|
| Just shut your mouth»
|
| Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother
|
| She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
|
| Let me tell you, brother
|
| She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
|
| Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred
|
| A woman that fast, she don’t need a number
|
| About a half an hour in
|
| I turned on the radio
|
| I caught a little bit of news
|
| About a lady you know
|
| There was somethin' 'bout gun play
|
| And a car she took
|
| Satisfactory conditions
|
| For throwin' the book
|
| I looked to my left (to my left, to my left)
|
| Heart be still!
|
| I was looking at the lady with the Coupe de Ville
|
| She said, «Back in Missouri
|
| A man owed a little debt
|
| It wasn’t over money
|
| But she took what she could get.»
|
| «She was in the driver’s seat
|
| She never looked back.»
|
| And I was ridin' shotgun
|
| In a Cadillac
|
| Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother
|
| She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
|
| Let me tell you, brother
|
| She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
|
| Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred
|
| A woman that fast, she don’t need a number
|
| Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother
|
| She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
|
| Let me tell you, brother
|
| She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
|
| Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred
|
| A woman that fast, she don’t need a number
|
| Yeah, go on baby |
