Lyrics

[Intro]
We're gonna do some driving, alright?
[Instrumental]
Woah
[Instrumental]
Got one foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey
I see that 55 shirt
There's just too much traffic, I can't pass, no
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again
[Chorus]
You can write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
But I can't drive 55
Not in Texas anyway, you can't (Ooh)
[Instrumental]
Signed my name on number 24
Yeah, the judge
Yeah, the judge said, "Boy, just one more
I'm gonna throw your ass in that city joint"
Then he, he looked me in the eye, he said, "You get my point?"
I say, "Yeah, oh yeah"
[Chorus]
You can write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
But I can't drive 55
[Bridge]
I can't drive 55
I can't drive 55
I can't drive 55
I can't drive 55
[Instrumental]
Uh
[Verse 1]
When I drive that slow, you know, it's hard to steer
I see the shirt
I can't get my car out of second gear
What used to take two hours, now takes all day
It took me sixteen hours to get to Dallas, Texas today
[Chorus]
You can write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
But I can't drive 55
[Outro]
Oh, no, uh
[Instrumental]
I can't drive 55
I can't drive 55
