Doin' Donuts

by Thomas Anderson

from the album The Moon in Transit

Throwin' gravel in the neighbor's yard

-- Doin' donuts --

It's Saturday night and I want to party hard

-- Doin' donuts --

Pedal to the metal til the world's a blur

-- Doin' donuts --

You know you're gonna do it but you don't know what for

-- Doin' donuts --

Burn up more than half a tank of gas

If you don't like it you can kiss my ass

-- Doin' donuts --

Dust and fumes reaching up to the stars

-- Doin' donuts --

All the dogs are barkin' from near and far

-- Doin' donuts --

Neighborhood's watchin', lookin' kinda spooked

-- Doin' donuts --

My girlfriend's dizzy and I know she's gonna puke

-- Doin' donuts --

Hear my roar for miles around

Nothin' else to do in this dumbshit town

-- Doin' donuts --

Grampa had a hotrod with big dual cams

-- Doin' donuts --

Daddy had a T-top black Trans-Am

-- Doin' donuts --

Uncle Bob the sheriff got his Crown Vic

-- Doin' donuts --

Ronnie had his pickup til he drove it in the creek

-- Doin' donuts --

It's just a way of life 'round here

Baby, clean yourself up and get me a beer.

-- Doin' donuts.... --
