Stereophonics

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

a man round forty in the backseat
he must have stepped in when i was empty
so why's 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 going
but it felt good to be strange

and still i looked up and
looked in the mirror behind me

curiosity is over
stepped down from the car
he pulled a gun from his jacket
said i was going 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 and
looked in the mirror behind me
