original guitar driven version

Lyrics

FREEWAY
WORDS: ARNO TIETJE, MUSIC JOEL PIRARD

I DRIVE I DRIVE THERFORE I AM
AMONG THE SHEEPLE IN THIS TRAFFIC JAM
ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS FOR AN HOUR A DAY IN MY MOBILE COCOON ON THE FREEWAY
WERE WARRIORS ALL ON THIS ENDLESS ROAD
IT'S HOW WE UNBURDEN THIS PSYCHIC LOAD
WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD AND WE CAN'T LOOK BACK
EACH OF US ON OUR OWN LITTLE PROGRAM TRACK
BRAIN-DEAD MORON IN AN S.U.V
YACKIN' ON THE CELL PHONE IN FRONT OF ME

SHOULD'A HAD BREAKFAST BUT WAS RUNNIN' LATE
HIT THE GROUND RUNNIN' FOR THE STARTING GATE
SPILLED SOME COFFEE ALL OVER MY TIE
MORNING SUN RISING AND BLINDING MY EYES
WEATHER AND TRAFFIC ON THE RADIO
WHOLE LOT OF STOPPIN' AND NOT MUCH GO
RADAR DETECTOR SAYS THERE'S COPS AHEAD
AND I'M WISHIN' I WAS STILL ASLEEP IN BED
BRAKE LIGHTS TWINKLE LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE
IT'S A RIBBON OF RED, IN FRONT OF ME

NOW IT'S LATER AND IT'S BACK IN MY CAR
DO I HEAD BACK HOME OR STOP AT THE BAR
MAYBE KILL AN HOUR POSTPONE THE PAIN
OF THE ROAD RAGE MADNESS ON THE FREEWAY GAME
BUT I GOT A REASON TO HIT THE ROAD
THAT LIGHTENS THE WEIGHT OF MY HEAVY LOAD
SHE'S TALL AND SASSY AND SHE LOOKS SO FINE
SHE'S WAITIN' AT THE STATION HOPIN' I'M ON TIME
SO ALL YOU SLUGS BETTER CLEAR THE WAY
'CAUSE I'LL BE OUT THERE JAMMIN' DOWN THE FREEWAY
