(Jim Collins/Dean Dillon)
He was walkin` in the parkin` lot,
When she finally caught up with him.
Said: "Hey, boy, you forgot your keys.
"Is that your car?" She ran her fingers `cross the hood,
An` told him: "I`ve never been in one of these."
He said: "Hop in an` I`ll take you for a ride,
"Around the block. If you got the time."
She said, as she took her apron off:
"I must be out of my mind."
He pushed a button an` the ragtop came down.
Pushed another an` the music came on.
Pushed it to the floor an` off they went.
She asked his name: he told her.
He asked her name: she told him.
Said: "You wanna head back?" She said: "Not yet.
"It feels good to have the sun on my face
"An` the wind blowin` through my hair.
He said: "Where to next?"
An` she said: "I don`t care."
"I`ve never been anywhere, I`ve never done anything.
"`Cept wait on tables in that bar: small talk an` small change.
"I`ve never loved anyone, I`ve never had someone who care.
"Boy, until you came along: I`ve never been anywhere."
They drove around for what seemed for hours.
In the sky the sun was settin`.
Said: "Where do you live? I`ll drive you home."
He walked her up to the front porch screen door.
On her lips, she felt his kisses.
He said: "Goodbye." She said: "So long."
Well, he got in his car an` drove away,
But then he stopped an` threw it in reverse
An` she came runnin` off that front proch,
An` he put his arms `round her.
"I`ve never been anywhere, I`ve never done anything.
"But work in some dead-end job, chasin` after dead-end dreams.
"But, girl, you brought my life to life, your smile is like a breath of air.
"Yeah, until you came along: I`ve never been anywhere.
"I`ve never been anywhere."
He was walkin` in the parkin` lot,
When she finally caught up with him.
Said: "Hey, boy, you forgot your keys."
