(Pal Waaktaar/Lauren Savoy)

I took a ride in an automobile

Pushed my hands out against the wheel

Asked a girl if she needed a ride

She said, Sure, babe, but I wanna drive

Hey now, wait awhile

We're going down with a smile

Cold river -- she took me down

Cold river -- she took my pride

Had to stop on account of the storm

Seemed like years since I'd been warm

We drove all night till the tires blew

Got in the back and did what you do

Hey now, wait awhile

We're going down with a smile

Cold river -- she took me down

Cold river -- she took my pride

On a sunny day

On a sunny day

(She took my pride)

All the money you made

Did you need it, babe
