Mister Mister Lyrics

Mister Mister lyrics

Mister, mister, give me a ride,

Been standin' for hours by this highway sign,

I gotta leave this mean little town,

Living here, lord, has got me down.

It was nobody's business what I done,

I didn't steal nothin', didn't hurt no one.



Mister, mister, give me a ride,

I'm good conversation and I'll help you drive,

Gotta story to tell you, when we're down the road,

How your so-called friends can really lay you low.

All I done was to love who I please,

But those small-minded people all turned on me.



Mister, mister, give me a ride,

I won't slow you down to say goodbye.

Ain't got much luggage to crowd your car,

One duffel bag, and this old guitar.

Everything I worked for, I'm leaving right here,

I got pawn tickets for my souvenirs.



Mister, mister, give me a ride,

Sun's going down leavin' me behind,

I done it for love, I never meant to be mean

But the consequences was unforseen;

I'm leavin' this town where I don't belong,

Headin' somewhere else where lovin' ain't wrong.



Mister, mister, give me a ride,

Please don't be another pass-me-by,

I'm stranded here where I don't want to be,

And a ride out of town would rescue me,

Where you're going I really don't care,

Just give me a ride please, and get me there
