Story behind the song
A true story of driving down to the SOuth of France and getting stopped for speeding.
Lyrics
Sunday morning, skies are blue, I know exactly what I’m going to do, Take my car out go for a drive, Just a thing that keeps me alive. Take a left and then take a right, I’m heading straight for the highway, Going driving down the autoroute, You notice I didn’t say motorway, Going driving down the autoroute, Driving fast down the autoroute, I don’t care if I get caught, That’s half the fun - driving in the sun. Driving fast down the autoroute, I don’t have a care on the autoroute Drive carefully that’s for sure, But not driving slowly, that’s a great bore. Going driving down the autoroute, Driving fast down the autoroute, Look in my mirror and what do I see, A little gendarme who’s a following me, Funny helmet, blue lights too, I know what he’s trying to do, Catch me, catch me that’s what he wants. I’ll just stop, Ok I’ll stop And get out, get out. Get out, get out. Going driving down the autoroute, Driving fast down the autoroute, Look in my mirror and what do I see, A little gendarme who’s following me, Takes me off to the cash machine Takes my ninety euros, Takes my ninety euros, But I don’t care, I’m not mean. Drive fast down the autoroute, Going fast down the autoroute, So what if I get caught, That/s half the fun, half the fun Driving in the sun, driving in the sun. Driving in the sun, driving in the sun.
