Who Drove the Red Sports Car? Lyrics

Van Morrison

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summertime?
And who done me out high-time fashion
And made me read between the lines?

And who said, "Follow the man, Jah only child
Sit on your throne
But you gotta make it on your own, on your own"

And who said, "Look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face"?
And who did your homework and read your Bible
And signed your name every place?

And who said, "Fortunes untold don′t go by gold
You must better know
That you gotta make it on your own, on your own"

And do you remember, do you remember this time?
I said a long time ago

When I came walking down
I came walking down by Maggie's place
It started coming on rain
It started coming on rain
′Cause I had nothing on but a shirt and a pair of pants
And I was getting wet, I was getting wet
Saturated, saturated, baby
And Maggie opened up the window
And Jane swung out her right arm
She said, "Hi," I said, "Hi, how you doing, baby?"

She said, "Come on in out the rain
Come on in out the rain
Lord, come on in out the rain
Sit down by the fireside and dry yourself"

I got caught, I got caught
By the bag, by the bag
Oh, Lord, I said, "I don't mind if I do"
I don't mind if I do
That′s the bag
You know, you gotta turn it upside down
So I might put it in a rack, fold it, press it
Call it a record, something like that
