Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Driving west on 66
High beams on and my gaze is fixed
Big mouth hanging in the air
Staring at the headlights glare
Must've thought it was Shangri-La
Now he's on the windshield of my car
[Verse 2]
You gotta watch your back
[Verse 3]
We got drug lords, fake news, Ponzi schemes
Fascism, racism, bold regimes
Endless scabs, dirty tricks
AK rifles, lunatics
We've got us political czars
Broken dreams and falling stars
[Verse 4]
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
Well, you get no slack
You gotta watch your back
You operate too slow
You're gonna miss the show
[Verse 5]
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
[Verse 6]
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You slip, you get slapped
You gotta watch your back
You operate too slow
You're gonna miss the show
[Verse 7]
You got doctors, lawyers, pimps, and thieves
Religious men push their beliefs
Back seat driver across every turn
But no one answers my concerns
Politics is a false alarm
We got us another Vietnam
[Verse 8]
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
Slip, you get slapped
You gotta watch your back
Gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
You gotta watch your back
