Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Drivin' on 9
You could be a shadow
Beneath the street light
Behind my home
Drivin' on 9
I sure miss you
Pass the motel
Give a dog a bone
Drivin' on 9
Looking for 138
Maybe I passed it
Go another mile
Drivin' on 9
You'll sure look pretty
In Carson City
Walking down the aisle
Drivin' on 9
Will you wear white?
I sure hope not
But you might, just to spite
Drivin' on 9
Does your daddy have a shotgun?
He said he'd never need one
Looking at the pines
[Verse 2]
Drivin' on 9
Looking out my windowsill
Wondering if you took your pill
Wondering if it's mine
Drivin' on 9
How old is Cindy?
She sure looks like me
Send me a card
[Outro]
Drivin' on 9
Turn off your headlights
This is just like stagefright
Coming back home
[whistling]

Route 9 that runs East-West from Boston through Worcester, Amherst and terminating in the very small town of Windsor. The lyric: "Looking for 138" would refer to Route 138 running South from Boston and intersecting with 9.
This is the original version of the song covered by The Breeders on Last Splash, a few years later. Carrie from Ed’s later toured with The Breeders for some time.
