From the recording Shakin’ A Leg
Lyrics
VERSE
Trying to pin her down; that’s what I’m doing
But the way it’s going, I think trouble is brewing
When I put the hammer down, oh, yeah, she was cooing
But when she hit the stop button, that was my undoing
CHORUS
She’s got one foot on the gas; the other foot on the brake
Sometimes she’s goin’ fast; when she goes slow it’s hard to take
She’s drivin’ in both lanes; is this gonna be a wreck?
It’s a whole lotta strain, but I’m sure wantin’ to hug her neck
SOLO/VERSE
My head is spinning around like the dryer machine
I need to come up for air, but she’s drivin’ the submarine
I don’t like being, you know, betwixt and between
But I’m not in control if you know what I mean
Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
There was a time when things usually went our way
But, somehow, I think that dog don’t hunt no more
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
She’s got one foot on the gas
The other foot on the brake
At least, she could make up her mind...
