Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
She drives a Mercedes
Hair is black as night
Got a way with moving her hips
Makes the boys run wild
[Verse 2]
Her eyes aren't filled with diamonds
Though they shine like stars
Wears so many rings on her fingers
Looks do plays the part
[Chorus]
But don't ever leave her in the rain
You do that my friend, you'll never be with her again
She'll drive away in her car
In her car
In her car
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
But don't ever leave her in the rain
You do that my friend, you'll never be with her again
She'll drive away
[Verse 3]
Her closet's filled with clothing
She never wears them twice
Doesn't really know what to do
She never paid the price
[Verse 4]
She drives a Mercedes
Her hair is black as night
She's got a way of moving her hips
She makes the boys run wild
[Chorus]
But don't ever leave her in the rain
You do that my friend, you'll never be with her again
She'll drive away in her car
In her car
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
But don't ever leave her in the rain
You do that my friend, you'll never be with her again
She'll drive away in her car
Yes, she'll drive away in her car
Drive away in her car
