[Intro] [Spoken / half-sung over the groove, dry and low] [Scratch guitar] Was out For a Sunday drive Saw you In my rearview mirror Just a quick glimpse Of you Walkin' across the street While I was stopped At a red light Oh [Brass stabs] [Verse] [Spoken / half-sung over the groove, dry and low] [Scratch guitar] You were smilin' Holdin' down a big floppy hat To keep it from blowing away In the wind That one look Took my breath away I had to Come and find you, Baby Yeah, I had to find you, Baby Couldn't stand the thought I might not get another chance Oh [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Lead vocalist, smooth and gritty] [Scratch guitar] Saw you turn a corner In my sideview mirror Had to hit the gas Make a sharp U-turn I had to come on back Yeah, I had to come on back Looking for you Oh [Brass stabs] [Verse] [Spoken / half-sung over the groove, dry and low] [Scratch guitar] Seemed like I drove all over town But you You were nowhere to be found Thought I lost you Somewhere in the crowd Thought maybe You'd slipped into a store Thought maybe You'd got lost in the crowd Thought maybe The wind whisked you away Or maybe, I'd dreamed it all Oh [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Lead vocalist, smooth and gritty] [Scratch guitar] Saw you turn a corner In my sideview mirror Had to hit the gas Make a sharp U-turn I had to come on back Yeah, I had to come on back Looking for you Oh [Brass stabs] [Bridge] [Music strips back to just the bass, kick drum, and handclaps as the vocals repeat in a hypnotic loop] Turned left Turned right Drove this way Then that Had my eyes peeled Oh Turned right Turned left Drove this way Then that Baby, I kept my eyes peeled Oh [Brass stabs] [Verse] [Spoken / half-sung over the groove, dry and low] [Scratch guitar] Seems like I Drove in circles for hours Yeah, pretty sure I'd almost given up Came to another stop Eased up to another red light Thought I'd lost you, Baby Thought maybe you'd been a dream Thought maybe you'd been Just a mirage When I looked up And to my surprise Saw that big, floppy black hat Come weavin' a way Right on through the crowd Oh [Brass stabs] [Chorus] [Lead vocalist, smooth and gritty] [Scratch guitar] Saw you turn a corner In my sideview mirror Had to hit the gas Make a sharp U-turn I had to come on back Yeah, I had to come on back Looking for you Oh [Brass stabs] [Outro] [Spoken / half-sung over the groove, dry and low] [Scratch guitar] One day Our kids gonna ask, Daddy, How did you and Momma meet? And Baby, you know I'll smile, and say - I saw you In my rearview mirror Just a quick glimpse Of you Walkin' across the street While I was stopped At a red light [Brass stabs] [Fades out on a lingering wah-wah guitar chord.]
