Black Limousine Lyrics


We used to ride, baby
Ride around in limousines
We looked so fine, baby
You in white and me in green
Drinking and dancing
All inside and crazy dream
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

I get so scared
Just to see you on the street
They're living dead
Your all the same, you never speak
Your wrecked out now
Washed up high up on the beach
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
Say what a pair, say what a team
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long Black Limousine
Those dreams are gone baby
Locked away and never seen
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

Black Limousine Song Chart
  • This is based on a song by Blues musician Jimmy Reed called "You Don't Have To Go." The song is about The Stones' rock and roll lifestyle of women, alcohol, and limousines.
  • This was first recorded at the Some Girls sessions in 1978.
  • Ron Wood got a writing credit for this. It is one of the few Stones originals not credited only to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
  • According to Wood, the guitar riff was influenced by a Texas slide Blues guitarist named Hop Wilson, who recorded in the '60s. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
