Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I bought a brand new airmobile
It was custom made, it was a Flight DeVille
With an outboard motor and some hideaway wings
Push in on the button and you can hear her sing
[Verse 2]
Now you can't catch me
No, baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
[Verse 3]
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee, wee hours
I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzling showers
Up come a flat top, he was moving up with me
Then come sailing goodbye in a little old souped up Mini
I put my foot in my tank and I begin to roll
Moaning sirens, 'twas the state patrol
So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn
Bye-bye New Jersey, I become airborne
[Verse 4]
Now you can't catch me
No, baby you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
[Verse 5]
Flying with my baby last Saturday night
Wasn't no gray cloud floating in sight
Big full moon shining up above
Cuddle up, honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
I'm gonna name you Maybellene
Flying with all the things set on flight control
Radio tuned to rock and roll
Two, three hours passing by
Altitude dropped to 505
Fuel consumption way too fast
Let's get on home before we run out of gas
[Verse 6]
Now you can't catch me
No, baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close
You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
