Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, I left my job about five o'clock
It took fifteen minute to go three blocks
Just in time to stand in line, with the freeway lookin' like a parking lot
[Verse 3]
Damn this traffic jam, how I hates to be late
It hurtin' my motor to go so slow
Damn this traffic jam, time I get home, my supper'll be cold
Damn this traffic jam
[Verse 4]
Now I almost had a heart attack, lookin' in my rearview mirror
I saw myself, the next car back, lookin' in the rearview mirror
'Bout to have a heart attack, I said
[Verse 5]
Damn this traffic jam, how I hate to be late
It hurts my motor to go so slow
Time I get home, my supper'll be cold
Damn this traffic jam
[Verse 6]
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 other mobile
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Damn
[Verse 9]
Now, I used to think that I was cool, runnin' around on fossil fuel
Until I saw what I was doin' was drivin' down the road to ruin
