Lyrics

0:09Damn this traffic jam
0:11How I hate to be late
0:13It hurts my motor to go so slow
0:15Damn this traffic jam
0:17Time I get home my supper'll be cold
0:19Damn this traffic jam
0:24Well I left my job about 5 o'clock
0:26It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
0:28Just in time to stand in line
0:30With a freeway looking like a parking lot
0:32Damn this traffic jam
0:34How I hate to be late
0:36It hurts my motor to go so slow
0:38Damn this traffic jam
0:40Time I get home my supper'll be cold
0:43Damn this traffic jam
0:47Now I almost had a heart attack
0:50Looking in my rear view mirror
0:51I saw myself the next car back
0:53Looking in the rear view mirror
0:55'Bout to have a heart attack
0:57I said
0:58Damn this traffic jam
1:00How I hate to be late
1:02It hurts my motor to go so slow
1:07Damn this traffic jam
1:11Time I get home my supper'll be cold
1:12Damn this traffic jam
1:13Now when I die I don't want no coffin
1:16I thought about it all too often
1:18Just strap me in behind the wheel
1:20And bury me with my automobile
1:21Damn this traffic jam
1:22How I hate to be late
1:24It hurts my motor to go so slow
1:25Damn this traffic jam
1:26Time I get home my supper'll be cold
1:29Damn this traffic jam
1:33Damn
1:46Now I used to think that I was cool
1:48Running around on fossil fuel
1:50Until I saw what I was doing
1:52Was driving down the road to ruin
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
Well I left my job about 5 o'clock
It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
Just in time to stand in line
With a freeway looking like a parking lot
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
Now I almost had a heart attack
Looking in my rear view mirror
I saw myself the next car back
Looking in the rear view mirror
'Bout to have a heart attack
I said
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
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
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
Damn
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
