Calic Moon - RISING
Drive Me To The Jiffy Lube

Words and music by Shirley Ladd

What can I say? These lyrics came to me on a warm, sleepy summer morning. The subtitle is “Greaser Girl.”

Verse:
She was standing on the corner in the middle of town
It was 90 degrees, the sun beating down
The smell of the bayou hanging in the air
She was in a hurry waiting but going nowhere

He stopped at the corner and looked over at her
Turned around the corner, pulled over to the curb
Lucinda Williams singing on his car stereo
He said “Hey there Baby, where do you want to go?”

Chorus:
She said “Drive me, come on you can drive me.
Drive me with Lucinda singing on the tube
Drive me pretty boy to the Jiffy Lube.
Her short mini skirt hung low on her hips
Cherry red lipstick outlined her lips
Her big blue eyes were shaded from the sun
Long curly hair was coming undone.

Chorus

They got to the Jiffy Lube, were waiting in line
She had her head on his shoulder, his hand on her thigh
They were changing the oil, it got steamy inside
He got out to pay, she said “Thanks for the ride.”

Chorus x 2

Refrain: Drive me, come on you can drive me
