For Sale
Traffics got me in a jam
touch the horn ...slap it wham
Give up work and sell the car
or I'll end up ...In a pickle jar.
All these hols ...that we take
mean I get to sit and bake
Normal rush hour's bad enough
you just accept ...say its tough.
The first few months ...I was so proud
thats my car ...I'd shout out loud,
Now that thing has got to me
I'm in a jam ...please set me free.
Drives me crazy ...stuck in here
wish I had a nice cold beer,
Dream of standing in a bar
help! ...I'm back In this d*mn car.
