 I stopped  to fill my  car up, the  car felt  good that day
 I didn't  know where  I was going but it felt  good for  a change
 a five  and a pocket  full of silver. I paid  the lady  no change
 and  then it started  to piss down.  I started driving  again
 And  then I looked up  and looked in the mirror  behind me
 And  then I looked up  and looked in the mirror  behind me
 A man  round forty in the  back seat, must  have stepped in  while I was empty
 So  why's he sat there  just waiting? likely  to smash my  face in.
 He  had a bag full  of money He said  just drive  me away
 I didn't  know  where I was going, yet it felt  good to  be strange
 And  still I look up  and look in the mirror  behind me
 And  still I look up  and look in the mirror  behind me
 Curiosity  is over, he  stepped  down from the car
 He  pulled a gun from  his jacket, said I  was going to  die
 It  gives me so much  satisfaction to watch  you beg and  cry
 Well  i just made up  this story. To get  your attention  makes me smile
 I never  looked  up or looked in the mirror  behind me
 I never  looked  up or looked in the mirror  behind me.
