Lyrics George Thorogood

George Thorogood

You Can't Catch Me

Bought a brand new M-O-bile

It was custom-made, was ole flight Deville

With a powerful motor

And some hideaway wings

Pushin' down on the button

And you can hear her sing

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

'Cause if you get too close

I'm gone like a cool breeze

New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours

I was rollin' slowly

'Cause ole drizzlin' showers

Here come ole flat top

He was movin' up with me

Then go wavin' goodbye

To little ole souped-up Jimmy

I put my foot in my tank

And I began to roll

Moan and sigh, it was the state patrol

So, I head out my winkers

Then I blew my horn

Bye-Bye New Jersy

I've become airborn

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

'Cause if you get too close

I'm gone like a cool breeze

Ridin' with my baby last Saturday night

Wasn't a dark cloud floatin' in sight

Faithful moon shinin' up above

Cuddle up, honey, and be my love

Sweet little thing that I've ever seen

I'm gonna name you Maybelline

Set out on the beat

Set out on flight control

Radio tuned to old Rock 'n' Roll

Two, three hours passin' by

Altitude up to 505

Fuel consumption way too fast

Let's get on home

Before we run out of gas

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

'Cause if you get too close

I'm gone like a cool breeze
