[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And then I looked up and looked in the mirror behind me
And then I looked up and looked in the mirror behind me

[Verse 2]
A man round forty in the back seat
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
Yet it felt good to be strange

[Chorus]
And still I look up and look in the mirror behind me
And still I look up and look in the mirror behind me
[Verse 3]
Curiosity is over
He 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

[Chorus]
I never looked up or looked in the mirror behind me
I never looked up or looked in the mirror behind me
