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 be cold

Damn this traffic jam

So I left my job 'bout five o' clock

Fifteen minutes to go three blocks

Just in time to stand in line

Freeway looking like a parking lot



Damn this traffic jam, how i hate to be late

Hurts my motor too go so slow

Time I get home my supper be cold

Damn this traffic jam

So I almost had a heartattack looking in a review mirror

Saw myself the next car back lookin' in the reveiw mirror About to have a heartattack



Said, damn this traffic jam, how I hate to be late

Hurts my motor to go so slow

Time I get home, my supper be cold

Damn this traffic jam

And when I die, I don't want no coffin

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 be cold

Damn this traffic jam

I use to think that I was driving around on fosil fuel

And then I found I was doing much driving down

Baby, I was driving down the road, just the road to ruin
