Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.

All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.

One of these early mornings, oh, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes.
I bought you a brand new mustang 'bout nineteen sixty five
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't want to let me ride.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.

All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.

    General Comment:its really about a car. the mustang was popular at the time this song was written. A broad behind the wheel of one gave the impression she was wild. she's running around town with it and he's not invited to ride along. (aka he's not invited for fast times on the road and in bed)

    My Opinion:we think this song is about some whore going around the town fucking all these guys and the part about "i bought you a brand new mustang "bout nineteen sixtey five"" thats when sex was introduced into her life, so in other words she is a slut!!!!!!!!!! what do you people think? am i close

    General Comment:Its about a slut. replace the word 'mustang' with 'sex' and read through it. Pretty obvious i thought.
