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 
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.
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,
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.
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.
