Stereophonics — I Stopped To Fill My Car Up lyrics

Lyrics

I stopped to fill my car up The car felt good that day
I didn’t know where I was going
But it felt good for a change
A five and a pocket full of silver
I paid the lady no change
And then it started to piss down
I started driving again
And then I looked up And looked in the mirror, behind me And then I looked up And looked in the mirror, behind me A man 'round forty in the backseat
Must have stepped in when I was empty
So wise he sat there just waiting?
Likely to smash my face in He had a bag full of money
He said, «Just drive me away»
I didn’t know where I was goin'
Yet it felt good to be strange
And still I look up And look in the mirror, behind me And still I look up And look in the mirror, behind me Curiosity is over
He stepped down from the car
He pulled a gun from his jacket
Said «I was goin' to die
It gives me so much satisfaction
To watch you beg and cry»
Well, I just made up this story
To get your attention, makes me smile
I never looked up or looked in The mirror behind me I never looked up or looked in The mirror behind me
