lyrics

Down on the fast road out of the city
Driving like you're out of your mind
You don't see nobody else
You're gonna leave them all for dust behind

Cos this old town's been driving you crazy
You're heading for an early grave
And you've been so high strung they say
You'll have a heart attack some day

So get on out of here, south of the river
No second thought, no rear view mirror
Don't stop, don't look, don't think
Just drive over me
But I'll stick around, at least for a while
Listen to the sound of your motor fading out
And i'll try not to think about you
Don't you think about me

And you will go just to be replaced
Another soul to be sacrificed
You catch a glimpse of their eye as they pass you by
A-heading for the city lights

So get on out of here, south of the river
No second thought, no rear view mirror
Don't stop, don't look, don't think
Just drive over me
But I'll stick around, at least for a while
Listen to the sound of your motor fading out
And i'll try not to think about you
Don't you think about me
