Beats all I've ever seen

I loaned you my brand new car

Said you was goin' for a Sunday drive

Yeah, here it is now four days later

I don't know if you are dead or alive

I got on the telephone this morning

Put the word out on the street
A
And I heard you was down in Memphis

With a big man in the driver's seat

Got me a hidin' in the bushes

Peekin' in the window pane

Shadow moves along the wall

I know you're in there with another man

Tried to get in the front door

Went around to the back door too

I believe you've got a side track man in there
A
Making my sweet love to you

Makin' my last proclamation

Gonna lay it on the line
A
Baby I'm runnin' out of patience
A
And you are runnin' out of time
A
Tired of all of your mean things
A
And all your dirty tricks
A
If I ever turn on you baby
A
You're gonna be in some kind of fix
[Chorus]
