Chauffeur Driver

Looks like a nice day for cruisin?
Anybody want to go for a ride?
(Verse 1)
I?m goin? from South San Diego to Berdino
I?m takin? the car cuz it gets me there all the way
I?m takin? this band to a one night stand in the company limo
Just pack your bags, whoa yea, and you?re on your way
(Chorus)
Cuz I?m a chauffeur driver and I spend my time behind the wheel
And I?ll take you any place you?d ever want to go
I?m a chauffeur driver and I got to admit I got the feel
Cuz I always spend my time behind the wheel
Let?s roll
(Verse 2)
He said son, do you know the way up to Reno
Yea, I been there once before, what a place
Well then make like a free bird and get us soarin?
And pack your bags cuz you?re gonna to be gone a couple of days
(Repeat Chorus)
Let?s cruise
(Verse 3)
Well, which one of you boys do they call Lynyrd
Well ol? Lynyrd, he?s up there in the pearly gates
Well now if you?re talkin? , Mr. Skynyrd
Just pack your suits and your helmets, you?re on your way
So if you see me flyin? off into the heavens
You know I took that limo all into to outer space
Cuz I?m a chauffeur driver, chauffeur driver
And I?ll take you any place you?d ever want to go
I?m a chauffeur driver, chauffeur driver
And I?ll take you any place you?d ever want to go
Chauffeur driver, chauffeur driver
I?m a chauffeur driver, chauffeur driver
Let?s cruise on
