Lyrics

Traffic Jam

Damn this traffic jam

How I hate to be late

Hurts my motor to go so slow

Damn this traffic jam

Time I get home my supper will be cold

Damn this traffic jam

I left my job about 5 o'clock

It took fifteen minutes to go three blocks

Just in time to stand in line

With a freeway looking like a parking lot

Damn this traffic jam

How I hates to be late

Hurts my motor to go so slow

Damn this traffic jam

Time I get home my supper'll be cold

Damn this traffic jam

Now I almost had a heart attack

Looking through my rear view mirror

I saw myself the next car back

Looking through my rear view mirror

About to have a heart attack

I said damn this traffic jam

How I hate to be late

Hurts my motor to go so slow

Time I get home my supper'll be cold

Damn this traffic jam

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

Damn this traffic jam

How I hate to be late

Hurts my motor to go so slow

Damn this traffic jam

Time I get home my supper'll be cold

Damn this traffic jam

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

Damn this traffic jam

How I hate to be late

Hurts my motor to go so slow

Damn this traffic jam

Time I get home my supper'll be cold

Damn this traffic jam

Damn this traffic jam

Damn this traffic jam

Damn
