Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, child you got a runnin' machine
Baby, baby ride on, Josephine, baby ride on

Well, now, Josephine, drivin' a hot rod Ford
She got twin carberators gonna burn up the road
Twin exhaust stickin' out the rear
Something that'll really take her away from here

Ride on, Josephine, baby ride on
Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, child you gotta runnin' machine
Baby, baby ride on, Josephine, baby ride on,

Well, now Josephine's engine said it started runnin' hot
She tried to trade it in down at a used car lot
The man couldn't believe his natural eyes
When she pulled it up into his drive

Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, baby ride on
Ride on, Josephine, child you gotta runnin' machine
Baby, baby ride on Josephine, baby ride on
Yeah

Josephine, your tank is leakin' baby
I think you better slow down, ride with me
You say what? you ask me to hush up and mind my own business
Uhhh, baby you are my business
You good business baby
I just love good business
You say what? you ask me what kinda car am I drivin?
Well
I'm drivin a 48 Cadillac with Thunderbird wings
I'm tellin you baby it's a runnin thing
I can reach and move, baby, get a gear
I think I can take it right out of here

Ride on, Josephine, ride on
Wooo, ride on, Josephine, ride on
Ride on, Josephine, child you gotta runnin' machine
Baby, baby, ride on, Josephine, baby ride on
