Throw It In Reverse

(Larry Read)

Written from past experience before I could drive. My buddy, who was a year older, had the car and he went too fast to meet anyone. Go listen and hear the story.
Cuisin' down the street
Trying to meet girls
But my buddy's going way too fast
There's another one that we just past
So take your foot off the gas and throw it in reverse

Chorus:
Yeah, throw it in reverse
Back the car up
Or she'll be gone before the next block up
There ain't many chances to find true love
So throw it in reverse and back the car up

I don't usually tell my friends how to drive their car
But this lack of love has gone way too far
And I don't want to spend another night alone
She may be right one, she may be all wrong
But if I don't meet her I'm never gonna know
There's another one that we just passed
So take your foot off the gas and throw it in reverse

Chorus

My friend is always asking me to go for a ride
His car is really cool and it shows a lot of pride
And I don't think there's a shinier car in town
It attracts the ladies
There's no doubt
Everywhere we go their heads turn about
There's another one that we just passed
So take your foot off the gas
And throw it in reverse

Chorus
