[Verse 1]
E
I ain't going to a friend's house
A
And I ain't going to my place of work
F#m
And I ain't going to a baseball game or a picture show
B
I'm just drivin' in my car
E
And I ain't looking at my watch now
A
'Cos I ain't got no place to go
F#m
A man says "Hey, would you like a window shine?"
B
I said "a-thank you sir, I'm-a doing fine, I'm just drivin' in my car."
[Chorus]
E A
Even though it looks like things ain't going my way
E
I, didn't get promoted
A
My, wife she done left me
E
And I, just got evicted
A
And I, think I'm going bald now
E
And, now all I got is
A F#M
A bottle of booze, and this here Thunderbird
B
And I'll be damned if it's insured
[Verse 2]
E
And I ain't looking at the stop signs
A
And I ain't looking at no traffic lights
F#m
And I'm not looking at the children on the crosswalk
B
I'm just drivin' in my car
E
And I'm just sipping on my whiskey
A
And I'm just sucking down some Valium
F#m
And I ain't worried about no side effects from the Prozac
B
I'm just drivin' in my car
E
"How do ya do hitchiking mama?
A
Get in the car and take a ride with me."
F#m
She says "Get your damn hands off of me."
B
I say "Don't worry ma'am, I'm a friend you see, and we're just drivin' in my car."
[Chorus]
E A
And now the two of us are tearing up the highway
E
With, no registration
A
I, ain't got no headlights
E
So I, can't see a damn thing
A
And, what the hell was that now?
E
I, hope it wasn't a human
A F#m
And now I'm getting heat from this girl that I just picked up off the road
B
And she's only 15 years old
F#m B
She's only 15 years old
[Verse 3]
E
"How do you do, Mr. Policeman?
A
How's life treating you on the streets today?"
F#m
He says "Pull over son, walk a straight line."
B
I say "A-thank you sir, I'm-a doing fine, I'm just drivin' in my car."
E
What's them red lights behind me flashing?
A
What's that there chopper up above?
F#m
The sign says "Checkpoint at the county line."
B
I say "a-thank you folks, I'm-a doing fine, I'm just drivin' in my car."
[Outro]
E F#m B
I'm just drivin' in my car
E F#m B
I'm just drivin' in my car
F#m B
She's only 15 years old
F#m B
And I'm just drivin' in my car
