Built for Comfort, Not for Speed
Sheer driving pleasure
I’m wide-bodied, baby,
Low to the ground
That purr-purr-purrrrrrr
Is my signature sound
My finish is flawless
All systems are go
I may be your ride
But you got to go slow
‘Cause I’m built for comfort
Never for speed
A deft-handed driver's the kind that I need
The deed’s in the details
Each shudder and sigh
So drive-through Don Juans
Can just keep cruising by
My upholstery’s plush
The heating works fine
It’ll loosen the knots
At the base of your spine
The touch of a button
Will put me in gear
Grinding’s okay, babe
Just let me steer
‘Cause I’m built for comfort
So safe and serene
Parked in your driveway, classy and clean
Awaiting awakening
Total turn-key
For the ride of your life
Slip in here with me
It's pleasure trips only
The valleys and hills
The rocking and rolling
The spills and the thrills
At the end of the road
When our gas gauge hits "E"
"Oh, what a feeling!"
Safe, sated, and free
