'67 BUICK A.F.

i went down to sound warehouse last thursday afternoon to buy a zz topp cassette
i was in a funky mood sitting in my car just about to go in when this red head
freckle faced southern girl grinned she said hey boy come now take me for a ride
straight down the highway over to the eastside

she was a long legged sweet smelling street working mama, said her name was
stella just blew in from alabama said she'd make it worth my while if i'd take her
where she's goin', drain my oil blow hard on my horn i knew she wasnt kidding when
she slid in next to me took a hold of my hand slid it up between her knees

i was trying to keep my buick from going in the ditch, the things she did to me made me
jump and twitch barreling down the the highway with her head in my lap, eyes glued
to the road like a kamikaze jap praying to myself we dont crash and burn but it felt
so good i sped right past our turn

finally it happened i came back around, she looked up at me i said welcome to town
i dropped her on the corner of 9th and broadway i said check you later, she said have
a good day i creeped off slowly with a stupid silly grin, back to the record shop, this
time i went in

well i got the tape i was after, slammed that sucker in the deck, turned it up to ten, got
on that 67 buick, but i couldn't get past the very first song, i played it over and over
all night long, thinkin' bout that girl and what she done to me, i drove all over town
singing the tube snake boogie
