She don’t love me, she love my automobile.
She don’t love me, she love my automobile.
Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.

She said what’s it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
She said what’s it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
I said honey why don’t you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.

Well now she don’t care if I’m stoned or sloppy drunk.
Well she don’t care if I’m stoned or sloppy drunk,
Long as she got the keys and there’s a spare wheel in her trunk.
