(C D G) 
 
Yeah northbound Cadillac neon lights 
Driven by a man you couldn?t pay me to fight 
I swear Ive never seen a zombie until now 
Lord he looks like he?s been up for days 
Swervin through the asphalt haze 
And right now id be nervous if I was a cow 
 
And this one ol' woman with a wagon full o kids 
She looked like she just hit the skids 
She left his ass this time she ain?t goin back 
Yeah she gonna drop the children off at mama?s 
She already got ?em in their pajamas 
And a sugar daddy waitin in a Cadillac 
 
Chorus 
 
This one ol' boy stopped to use the phone 
To tell his woman he?d soon be home 
If the highway patrol would let him put the hammer down 
And he asked if his huntin dogs were alright 
And he just might make it home tonight 
The CB says its clear for four more towns 
 
Well I been sittin here four or five hours 
I blew a rod doin sixty miles an hour 
Seems like Detroit ain?t makin ?em like they did 
I?m glad there?s all this stuff to see 
If it weren?t for them it?d just be me 
And I do believe I would?ve flipped my lid 
 
Chorus
