Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Four Years Older Than Me lyrics

rate me

(Ron Haffkine/Ray Sawyer/Dennis Locorriere/Jay David)

I was seventeen years old that day

I was trying to find a woman for my birthday

So I made up my mind, and I didn't waste no time

And I took my daddy's Caddy down the freeway

Had a pocketful of bait, it was gettin' kinda late

It was bumper next to bumper on the highway

Sittin' jammed up tight, looked over to my right

there was a hitchhikin' honey goin' my way

About four years older than me

Biggest dang woman that I ever did see

But that sure didn't seem to matter

She made me so crazy, that I threw my love at her

And I scored

When I saw that pretty thumb, I motioned her to come

And she smiled and looked at me a little sideways

I said "Come on jump inside, we'll take a little ride"

And she said "Awright little man, let's go to my place"

About four years older than me

Biggest dang woman that I ever did see

But that sure didn't seem to matter

She made me so crazy, that I threw my love at her

And I scored

But that was long ago, now there's lots of things I know

And there's been a lot of parties wasn't bad

I've learned a lot since then, but I still remember when

I got the best piece of cake I ever had

About four years older than me

Biggest dang woman that I ever did see

But that sure didn't seem to matter

She made me so crazy, that I threw my love at her

And I scored
