Side by Side

Tumble outta bed and I pet my Cocker Spaniels
Pour myself a cup of Jack Daniels
Got to go although I'm feeling drained
Jump in my Chevy and I hit the highway
With hundreds more who all travel my way
But up ahead there are drivers without brains

Drivin' side by side, they are blocking all the traffic
Got me saying things that you could describe as graphic
They just putt along going slower than the limit
It's enough to drive you crazy in a minute

Side by side, what could they all be thinking
Spread out three lanes wide as my spirits start to sinking
Want to move ahead but I'm in a rolling roadblock
I swear sometimes it'd be faster just to slow walk

One's on the phone talking to her mama
One's eating food while he's causin' drama
One's thinking 'bout the bills he needs to pay
I'm in the same boat with many mad drivers
Waitin' for a chance to pass these jivers
If they'd just look around they might see they're all in the way

Driving side by side, they ignore the mess behind 'em
Goin' 45, they are causing lots of mayhem
You can honk your horn but they don't go any faster
It's another work commute that's a disaster

Side by side, such a traffic jam they're making
Astronauts in space can see everybody braking
They don't re-a-lize how much we really hate 'em
Someone needs to step right up and educate 'em

Side by side, what a way to be frustrating
No one's gettin' by, they could use a good berating
They just poke along and we're back here going crazy
When we're late to work will our bosses think we're lazy

Side by side, yeah they got us moving slowly
They don't seem to mind as we're shouting "holy moley!"
It seems every day that some driver's on a mission
To get in the way and remain in that position

Side by side, drivin' side by side
