One of several songs about a woman I used to work- and play- with.

Driving out to the Woodlands
I was heading north
On I-45

I passed a pretty rainbow
Golden hair, red lips
And pretty blue eyes

Chorus:
Tell me do you like your white Mercedes
Is it taking you where you want to go
Why don’t you come and ride beside me
And we’ll take it nice and slow

We’ll spend some time together
I’ll paint you pictures
Of the deepest hue

I’ll regale you with stories
And if you let me
I’ll make them come true

Chorus:
Tell me do you like your white Mercedes
Is it taking you where you want to go
Why don’t you come and ride beside me
If you don’t you’ll never know

Bridge:
You’ll never know what we can see
You’ll never know the gentler side of me
You’ll never know what we can do
You’ll never know how much I love you

Chorus:
Tell me do you like your white Mercedes
Is it taking you where you want to go
Why don’t you come and ride beside me
If you don’t you’ll never know

Bridge:
You’ll never know what we can see
You’ll never know the gentler side of me
You’ll never know what we can do
You’ll never know how much I love you
