Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly
I see you racing around like a flash of light
I see you running around out there
Wind is flying through your hair
I know you just won’t listen but I try
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly

Slow down slow down slow down Caroline
Hello, how are you, I am fine
Your engine could explode
Oil is dripping on the road
Go down Moses down in Egypt land goodbye
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly

Way down yonder by the old stockade
There’s a bunch of pelicans on parade
Smoking sugar frosted flakes and marmalade
Kids, don’t try this at home

Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly
Don’t swim no deeper than the angels can cry
I’d walk a crooked mile, just to see your pretty smile
You can walk the floor but don’t forget the sky
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly

We could horse around ‘til the cows come home
You could roll a turkey with a chicken bone
Spend a night camping in the Astrodome
No need to be afraid

Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly
I see you racing around like the speed of light
I see you walking around out there
Wind is flying through your hair
I know you just won’t listen but I try
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly

I know you just won’t listen but I try
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly
