The Lyrics
Young patent assistant
She's driving home one eve
It's dark out, she's alone
Never drove a truck so big
Behind her there's a car
He's nearing her tailgate
Bad driver, he's so close now
That girl shouts in a rage:
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
She steps on, the pedal
Her foot is filled with lead
She just can't seem lose him
Her face is turning red
She switched lanes, he follows
So quick it makes her cry
A stop sign, she's waiting
He will not pass her, why?
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
She slows down to peeve him
He won't complain or shout
She gives him the finger
She wants to curse him out
She looks back to see him
She starts to shake and cough
The back of her own truck
Is what had pissed her off!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
She's driving home one eve
It's dark out, she's alone
Never drove a truck so big
Behind her there's a car
He's nearing her tailgate
Bad driver, he's so close now
That girl shouts in a rage:
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
She steps on, the pedal
Her foot is filled with lead
She just can't seem lose him
Her face is turning red
She switched lanes, he follows
So quick it makes her cry
A stop sign, she's waiting
He will not pass her, why?
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
She slows down to peeve him
He won't complain or shout
She gives him the finger
She wants to curse him out
She looks back to see him
She starts to shake and cough
The back of her own truck
Is what had pissed her off!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!
Don't drive, don't drive so
Don't drive so close to me!

I just HAD to give it all 5's.
Good one!
LOL ! 5's
Jeff R - This one left a perfect distance between objects, so I have nothing to object to...since "555" is the vote limit that's the most I can go here...
Always go for a punchline. Well done. Did something similar with "I Block the Lane"
Very good, Jeff.
the lyrics really fit well with the feel of the music... excellent parody..
Thank you everyone! Rick, I'll check that out later today.
This song and "I block the lane" are both about San Antonio drivers. -- MM
EXCELLENT!!!!! EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!
This 555 is closer than it appears.
Humorous parody, very clever ending.
Good one!
555, jeff.
April SOTM - see above!
Love the punch line!
Maybe I'm an old grump today, but I just couldn't see this as a five for humor. Otherwise good, tho' and nice punch line. :-)
You must live somewhere nice and sedate then Merry, cos I can sure relate to the above!
Any song that disses tailgaters gets all 5s from me!
Mari, as long as we're dissing driving tailgaters, and not the drinking tailgaters (like at football games) =)
Is it okay to five this close? Very good.
That was great. 5'd. Love the ending.
(Finds a designated driver and THEN drinks some Guiness) Brilliant
Nice. Nice plot. Nice plot twist. Excellent stuff, Jeffaroo.
SOTM - Very fine job, Jeff.
Hey Jeff. Put down that beer and put up a Bio. We want to know more about you.
Rick...done! (I'll add more in the future, but it's a start)
This is AWESOME!!!
Loved this one, Jeff. I've encountered all kinds of annoying drivers on the road (and I'm sure we all have). 5-5-5
Missed this first time around, too. Lovely one, Jeff :-)
Serafina, Phil...thanks!
(ABC3D) Hmm, the punchline kind of escaped me, though the sentiment is a definite 5.
(ABC) See above ... The punchline is the ol' dog-chasing-its-own-tail thing ... or hallucinating-being-chased-by-its-own-tail!
(ABC3) ... a little too much of the original's key words...line 3 of verse 2 is really poor.
(ABC3-D) At least when he used the key words, he tied them in to what he was saying...or something...you know what I mean. Nice work, Jeff!
(ABC3-D) Nice set up for the punch line...lotsa fun! 555
(ABC3D) - Good one, Jeff. Flows along niceley to the OS.
(ABC3-D) Oh maaaan. That ending was HILARIOUS. Some of the rhymes are a bit off, but that's just a teeny, tiny complaint for a great effort.
I agree...... I never was a trucker, but was a teenaged kid getting their temps before, and this rings way too true.
Oh, wow, that was funny -- and so true! The ending surprised me and imo was not necessary since there really are a lot of jerks who drive like that. -- MM (meow78223)
(ABC3D) very clever ending Jeff, and a great idea for the OS too - 555
