lyrics

Monday evening, headed home from work
Wanna rip my boss's face off, 'cause he's such a jerk
When, speaking of faces, before my eyes I see
Creation's prettiest, halting the world around me

Thinking about her in the passenger seat
Put my arm around her; tell her that she's so sweet
But in reality, my car is rolling down the street
And my brake pedal is not being touched by my feet

Monday evening, idling down the strip
Wondering if she's a waitress; adding up my tip
She stops in front a boutique, looking at a new hand bag
Gasping at the impact, I deploy my driver's side airbag

She's my tailgate lover; she's my only one
I'll ask her out to dinner if my insurance pays for the damage done (which it won't)

Thinking about her in the passenger seat
Put my arm around her; tell her that she's so sweet
But in reality, my car is rolling down the street
And my brake pedal is not being clutched by my feet

In reality
