Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
[Verse 1]
Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast and top down
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline
[PreChorus]
Don't you know she's coming home to me?
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her
[Chorus]
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama
[Verse 2]
Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Out an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom
[PreChorus]
Don't you know she's coming home to me?
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her
Uh-oh
[Chorus]
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woo
[Bridge]
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it, see
I reach down, between my legs, and ease the seat back
[Bridge]
She's blinding, I'm flying
Right behind in rear-view mirror now
Got the fearing, power steering
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now
[Chorus]
Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Panama, Panama, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Panama
