the turn of a mile my curiosity running wild crusin' and playin' the radio with no particular place to go Verse 2 Riding along in my automobile I's anxious to tell her the way I feel So I told her softly and sincere and she leaned and whispered in my ear cuddlin' more and drivin' slow with no particular place to go Verse 3 No particular place to go So we parked way out on ko-ko-mo The night was young and the moon was gold So we both decided to take a stroll Can you image the way I felt I couldn't unfasten her safety belt Verse 4 Riding along in my calaboose Still trying to get her belt a-loose all the way home I held a grudge for the safety belt that wouldn't budge Crusin' and playing the radio with no particular place to go
