LYRICS
Traffic Jam by James Taylor
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 five o'clock,
It took fifteen minutes
To 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.
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,
About 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.
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.
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,
It turned out
What I was doing
Was driving down
The road to ruin.
LYRICS
Sea Cruise
The old man rhythm's gotten in my shoes
Know you're sittin' here and singing the blues
So be my guest, you got nothing to loose
Won't you let me take you on a see cruise
I said
Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
I feel like jumping, babe, won't you join me please
oh babe, please
I don't like digging but now I'm on that need
I've got to get the moving, babe, I ain't lying
My heart is beating rhythm and it's right on time
Be my guest, you got nothing to loose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
I said
Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
