Stop Me If You've Heard This One

"Stop Me If You've Heard This One"
Delaney

There's a story of a lady hitchhiker
On the side of a lonely dirt road
She steps out of the fog around midnight
She's got her thumb out, she wears old timey clothes
And the good Samaritan happens upon her
He pulls over and he offers a ride
And the stranger don't say more than "Thank You"
As he opens the door and she climbs inside

Stop me if you've heard this one
Stop me if you've heard this one

And there is an oddness to this young woman
With the hint of a stain on her shirt
And the way that she can't take her eyes off her hands
And the way that she smells of the earth
And the driver he makes conversation
But she don't know the news of the day
She says "yes sir" or "no sir" or nothing
As he tries telling jokes all in vain

He says "stop me if you've heard this one"
Stop me if you've heard this one

And in a while she asks to pull over
Though there really ain't nothing out here
And he turns to give some kind of warning
But she's gone like she weren't even there
And he drives that dirt road and he shudders
But for reasons he cannot recall
Then the clock on the dash strikes midnight again
And a lady hitchhiker steps out of the fog

Stop me if you've heard this one
Stop me if you've heard this one
Stop me if you've heard this one
Stop me if you've heard this one
