[Verse 1]
Speed along the highway
Honey, I want it my way
But listen to her daddy's song
"Don't stay out too long"
Ooh, we're just busy hiding
Sitting in the back seat of my car

[Bridge]
Looking for a ride in the haul-about
Looking for a ride in and out of town
Stalling around in a haul-about
Looking for a ride in and out of

[Verse 2]
The lazy lights are pretty
We may end up in Mexico City
But listen to her daddy's song
"Making love is wrong"
Ooh, we're just busy riding
Sitting in the back seat of my car

[Refrain]
Aw, we was only hiding
Sitting in the back seat of my car, yeah

[Verse 3]
And when we finish driving
We can say we were late in arriving
And listen to her daddy's song
We believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
We can make it to Mexico City
Sitting in the back seat of my car

[Outro]
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
No, no, no
We believe that we can't be wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
