(Verse)     Well, I caught her little wink out of the corner of my eye 

            She was movin' like a freight train passin' on the fly 

            I knew that something big was just about to start 

            It was racing like a fire engine through my heart



(Chorus)    And I knew I could get it, I knew I could get it 

            Yes, I knew I could get it, if I could only get it into gear



(Verse)     I put the peddle to the metal on this old Ford of mine 

            But it takes about an hour 'fore she'll finally unwind 

            I knew had to catch her she was the woman of my dreams 

            But then this damned old transmission start to scream,



(Chorus)    And I knew I could get it, Oh, I knew I could get it 

            I knew I could get it, if I could only get it into gear



(Bridge)    Well I've been fightin' with this transmission all my life 

            Well I guess it maybe time to make the change 

            If I could catch her I'd try to take her for my wife 

            But the clutch is gone, and the gears all grind,

            And like a worn out toy, she's leavin' me behind



(Verse)     When I was just about to catch her she hit overdrive 

            Nothin' but a trail of smoke and two tail lights 

            Now I know I'll never have her no matter how I try 

            But I'm not the kind to sit around on my ass and cry



(Chorus)    Coz, I knew I could get it, I knew I could get it 

            I knew I could get it, if I could only get it into gear



(Bridge2)   Why do we shy away, 

            From those little things that we need to say 

            Now it hard to tell her "I love you" 

            When she's speedin' off, a hundred miles away 

            Now I'm standing here, there's nothing left to say. 



(Chorus)
