Back at work around eleven
Putting soup and beans away
Manager walked up
"Here Maya final deliveries for today"

I walked out to my Saturn, but dang
Parking lot looked like a county fair
People all staring 
"Is there something wrong with my hair?"

Then this guy stepped out in sunglasses
At midnight? Musta made him feel important
He said, "You the Saturn girl?"
I said, "I'm Maya. Who are you?
The end of the world?!"

He tried to act all charismatic
His shirt was sooo cinematic
His hair looked aerodynamic
He said "race me"
I said, "Sir, I got frozen dinners in the trunk
He laughed and said
"Figures for that piece of junk"
Lookee here, sir

I AIN'T A RACER
No no no
It's the end of my shift
I just gotta go

I AIN'T A RACER
No sireee!
Just making my last delivery
But if you diss me
Oh oh oh
Then watch me drift
Past your frickin ego

He pulled ahead all loud and flashy
Tail lights blinkin in the night
Window down he yelled real proudly
"Try to keep me in your sights!"
I shook my head and checked my mirrors
Took a sip of my Lipton tea
Then saw him laugh and point behind him
That was mistake number three
Next turn came and road got tighter
Moon hung low and air got thin
Yanked the e-brake
And tucked right in
"See ya, buddy!"

I AIN'T A RACER
No no no
It's the end of my shift
I just gotta go

I AIN'T A RACER
No sireee!
Just making my last delivery
But if you diss me
Oh oh oh
Then watch me drift
Past your frickin ego

Easy now
Easy now
Don't bruise the groceries
Easy now
Oh no
Bananas rollin forward
As I headed toward
Devil's curve

Them big shiny headlights
Disappeared from sight

I AIN'T A RACER
No no no
I got work again tomorrow

I AIN'T A RACER
No no no
Are you drowning in sorrow?
Cuz if you diss me
Oh oh oh
I'll up and smash
your frickin ego

I got a call from my manager
He said, "Mrs. Smith filed a complaint
Her groceries were sideways"

I said, "Yeah, but the eggs stayed up
That's the best you're gonna get nowadays"
