Hazard Lights

(album: Drive It Like It's Stolen - 2023)

I pulled over so you could puke in the ditch on the shoulder
You mumbled live and let live I'd been sober for 15 nights
Man, I hated that bar but you needed me to drive
So I listened to all your silly reckless opinions
On acid rain and Jane's Addiction
Chem trails and baseball
And the daily benefits of chopping up adderall

Let me get you home I'm weakest on the weekend
My Bambi knees are knocking, my thirst is steady creeping
I can't turn you down, I can't be alone
So I'm hearing you out with the hazard lights on

At the drive in, I'm losing my breath, am I dying?
These padded walls in my head I've been climbing
Can't find asylum
I'm still scared of heights but I'm thinking about flying

Let me get home I'm weakest on the weekend
My Bambi knees are knocking, my thirst is steady screaming
I can't turn it down, I can't be alone
So I'm sweating it out with the hazard lights on

Five years ago it was all open road
Now I've got a tank full of gas and nowhere to go
I tried going fast, I tried going slow
Now I idle in neutral a mile from home
I idle in neutral with the hazard lights on

Let me get home I'm weakest on the weekend
Let me get home I'm weakest on the weekend
Let me get home I'm weakest on the weekend
Let me get home
Let me get home

Let me get home I'm weakest on the weekend
My Bambi knees are knocking, my thirst is steady screaming
I can't turn it down, I can't be alone
So I'm sweating it out with the hazard lights on
