Chorus:
B
I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
     F#            E      B
Who just wants to hit an run
Now you're on your own
Because I'm accident prone
       F#            E         B
And I hope that you have your fun

B
I tried to love you my way
but lady you just wouldn't slow down
You drove right on through
me when other guys came around
What you call love wouldn't give to a stray
I wouldn't treat a dog that way

Chorus:
I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun
'Cos you specialize in your own kind of lies
Baby you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

One day you'll have to slow down and lady it could be too late
You keep on accelerating and lady I can see your fate
No one wants a second-hand car
They know it's been pushed too far

Chorus:
I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun
'Cos you specialize in your own kind of lies
Baby you just hit and run
You're dragging me down with this riding around
And one day you will be undone
I'm a lay-by lover and you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now you're on your own 'cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun
