I fell in love with a dark-eyed lady
She seemed to be on her own
And from nowhere when I came over —
A princess without a throne.
That night as I was takin’ her home
I got a feelin’ that we weren’t alone.
Keep your hands on the wheelwe got a tail there
Tryin’ to put us off the road.
What are you gonna do when a man from her past catches up with you?
What are you gonna do when he wants to make a claim on you?
Fast johnnyI’m flat on the boards —
Fast johnnyI’m cutting the corners —
Fast johnnyI’m closin’ the door —
Fast johnnydon’t chase me in your car no more!
You know nobody can drive quite like I can
Runnin’ every red light in town
We danced on the floordanced on the street
Danced as the wheels turned around.
Maybe johnnyyou’ll meet your match
When you look into my chevy’s eyes
Keep your engine hot and running
’cause this sweet little honey’s gonna take you by surprise.
What are you gonna do when a man from her past catches up with you?
What are you gonna do when he wants to make a claim on you?
Fast johnnyI’m flat on the boards —
Fast johnnyI’m cuttin’ the corners —
Fast johnnyI’m closin’ the door —
Fast johnnydon’t chase me in your car no more!
Repeat and close
