Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride
Yes I am a fugitive, but still I'm on your side, side
But they'll never ever take me, take this boy alive

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
Why, I wonder, did you stop and offer me a ride
You have got one heavy foot, we're going 95, five
You seem like a girl in need of thrills to stay alive

With your Chevy Powerglide
You don't have to shift to keep the lawman far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop, no time

So, take me, take me, take me
take me, take me for a ride, ride
Let's avoid all areas that seem too gentrified
When you're hungry we can stop
I just eat food that's fried, fried
My name's Johnny, what's your name, you seem so dignified

With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop and hide, so
Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride

Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura

Roadblock dead ahead
we've got to crash it drive, girl, drive
They will never, never take this boy alive, alive
Now you're an accomplice
and I'm sorry, but that's life, girl
Floor it, floor it, floor it, we've now hit a hundred five

With your Chevy Powerglide
You don't have to shift to keep the lawmen far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop, no time, so

They repeat this ritual each Friday night at 9
He is an accountant and she teaches kids design
Once a week they live a moment that makes them alive
Fighting off the tedium of both their daily lives

Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride
Yes, I am a fugitive, but still I'm on your side, ride
But they'll never ever take me, take this boy alive
