Drive By
Lyricist:Glen Richard Phillips
I was the driver for the drive-by of the neighbor's dog Dad had always hated him and he said, 'Come on son Get into the Vega now and I'll go get my shotgun'
It was a military holiday and kids were everywhere I hid behind the steering wheel and tried to disappear I tried to speak but couldn't, Dad was whistling and drinking beer
And I prayed, 'Dear God, if You save this dog I will never get high, I will never jack off I will do all the things that I should but have not I'll be a good boy from now on'
We turned around the corner soon and saw the neighbor's yard Dad lit up a cigarette and rolled his window down And grinning like an idiot he stuck his head and body out
And I prayed 'Dear God, if You save this dog I will never get high, I will never jack off I will be all the things that I should but have not Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'll be a good boy from now on I'll be a good boy from now on'
Well, he popped in a shell and took aim with the gun Then a flash and a bang and the dog it was gone And jumped up and he ran away Dad had shot right through his chain
Dad said, 'Take me to the Dairy Freeze, I want to have a shake' We sipped them on the benches there and stared out on the lake And Dad has never said another word about that day
And I hope You're not disappointed, God 'Cause I still get high and I still jack off And You knew I was lying but You still saved that dog
You're such a good God Yeah, You're such a good, good God Well, You're such a good goddamned backwards dog And I'll be a good boy from now on
