Song: Traffic Jam

(chorus)
Damn this traffic jam
How i hate to be late
It hurts my motor to go so slow
Damn this traffic jam
Time i get home my supper'll be cold
Damn this traffic jam

Well i left my job about 5 o'clock
It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
Just in time to stand in line
With a freeway looking like a parking lot

- chorus -

Now i almost had a heart attack
Looking in my rear view mirror
I saw myself the next car back
Looking in the rear view mirror
'bout to have a heart attack
I said

- chorus -

Now when i die i don't want no coffin
I thought about it all too often
Just strap me in behind the wheel
And bury me with my automobile

- chorus -

Damn...

Now i used to think that i was cool
Running around on fossil fuel
Until i saw what i was doing
Was driving down the road to ruin
