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
