Been days gone by Since you pulled out the drive Without a word at all Where in the world'd you go I'd sure like to know In your canary yellow car I went up to highway nine Cruisin' for a while Passed by an old freight yard Heard a whistle blow From a locomo Comin' in from far
But I didn't know where you was Thought maybe you got lost I had no way to call Somebody saw you last Up on the overpass Taillights in the dark In your canary yellow car
Must've drove all night Cut the lights on bright White lines over tar The way that motor run I never had to worry none In my canary yellow car
Baby, that's alright You had yourself a time Go on the way you are But honey you should know You can't compare a home To a canary yellow car
'Cause I didn't know where you was Thought maybe you got lost I had no way to call Somebody saw you last Up on the overpass Taillights in the dark In your canary yellow car In your canary yellow car In your canary yellow car.
