Lyrics

[Intro]
Let's get back to 1984 one time
[Instrumental]
Hey
Ah
[Instrumental]
Oh
[Instrumental]
Ooh
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
[Instrumental]
Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full temper and top down
Hot shoe, burning down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline
[PreChorus]
Don't you know she coming home with me?
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her, this crazy motherf—
Mikey, you got it?
[Chorus]
Panama
Panama, oh
Panama
Panama, oh
[Verse 1]
Nothin' like it, she shiny machine
She got a feel for the road, keep the moving parts clean
Hot shoe, burning down the avenue
Got a freeway runnin' to my bedroom
[PreChorus]
Don't you know she coming home with me?
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her, yeah
[Chorus]
Panama
Panama, oh
Panama
Panama, oh
Oh
[Instrumental]
Oh Lord, have mercy
I dig it
Now you people
You heard what Redbird said when Redbird came up here
I gotta make one true confession to you
Last night, we were over in
Tree Port, Louisiana
And, it's all I could think about was bein' here today
And that was wrong, though
That was wrong because dig it
Right now is what I'm supposed to be thinkin' about bein' here today
I ain't fuckin' worried about tomorrow
Tomorrow may not come, you know what I mean?
Tomorrow is no fuckin' guarantee about tomorrow
Yesterday is history and history sucks as far as I'm concerned
It's all we got, ladies and gentlemen
Is right here and now
[Instrumental]
We got right now
We got right now
Come on, right— (Now)
Ain't tomorrow, oh
We got right— (Now)
Forget about yesterday 'cause
We got right— (Now)
Right now
We got (Right now)
We got right now, one more
We got (Right now)
Oh
[Bridge]
I'm flying, she's flying
Right behind in the rearview mirror
Got the footing, got the power steering
Got the pistons popping, ain't no stopping now
[Chorus]
Panama
Panama, oh
Panama
Panama, oh (Oh)
I said Panama
Panama, oh
Panama
Panama, oh-oh-oh
Panama
[Outro]
Shit, I don't know, you people havin' a good time?
Is it alright out there?
Well, the way I figure is if anybody doesn't like the show or somethin'
Just ask for your money back at the ticket booth, you know what I mean?
