Lyrics

There was a girl in the other car. A Jeep Laredo with four wheel drive.
She had the window down, her arm was hanging out.
I would have liked to catch her eye.

Joni Mitchell was on the radio singing "Goodbye baby, baby goodbye."

I got behind her at the next red light. I caught her eyes in the rear view mirror.
If you've already heard this one then you can stop me now.
I thought about calling out and wondered if she could hear.

She drove real fast when the light when green.
There was no way I would let her go.
I'm pretty sure I have a good shot at a carpool.

I want her on my side. I want her to trust me with her keys.
I want to give her a ride. I want her hand on my knee.
Maybe we can fall in love. Maybe we'll just drive to work.
I don't care too much I think as long as you don't think I'm a jerk.

I'd like to call you. Could I phone you?
I really just want to give you a ride home.

I want to follow you home from work. We drive the same route.
I want to follow you home from work. I want to find out what you're all about.
I want the chance to buy you your first cup of coffee every morning, every day.
I want us both to skip breakfast every morning
So we enjoy lunch together that much more every day.
Let's be a carpool. I want to be a carpool. Let's be a carpool. We can be a carpool.
