Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My daddy was the family bassman
My mamma was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn
With music humming in my ears
In my ears
[Chorus]
They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
[Chorus]
Scoot down the road
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
Shine the light
[Verse 2]
My daddy was a prominent frogman
My mamma's in the Naval Reserve
When I was young, I carried a gun
But I never got the chance to serve
I did not serve
[Chorus]
They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
[Chorus]
Scoot down the road
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
[Verse 3]
My daddy got a big promotion
My mamma got a raise in pay
There's no one home, we're all alone
Oh, come into my room and play
Yes, we can play
[Chorus]
I'm not talking about your pigtails
But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
Scoot down the road
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
