[Verse 1]
N.C.
I bought a brand new airmobile
N.C.
'Twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal
N.C.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
N.C.
Pushin’ on the button, you will hear her sing
[Chorus]
A
Now you can't catch me
E
Baby, you can't catch me
B
Cause if you get too close
A7 [ E ]
You know I'm going' like cool breeze
(break)
[Interlude]

Well, you walk! You walk!
[Verse 2]
E
New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
E
I was rolling slowly cause of drizzling showers
E
Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me
E
Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney
E
I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll
E
Moaning siren, 'twas the state patrol
E
I let out my wings, then I blew my horn
E
Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborne
[Chorus]
A
You can't catch me
E
Baby, you can't catch me
B
Cause if you get too close
A7 [ E ]
You know I'm going' like cool breeze
(break)

[Verse 3]
E
Flying with my baby last Saturday night
E
Wasn't a gray cloud floating in sight
E
Big, full moon, shining up above
E
Cuddle up, honey, be my love
E
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
E
I'm going to name you Maybellene
E
Flying on the beam, set on flight control
E
Radio tuned to rock and roll
E
Two, three hours passed us by,
E
Altitude dropped into five-o-five
E
Fuel consumption, way too fast
E
Let's get on home before we run out of gas
[Chorus]
A
Now you can't catch me
E
Baby, you can't catch me
B
Cause if you get too close
A7 [ E ]
You know I'm going' like cool breeze
(break)
