I was riding down the highway
Just trying ninety-nine
I had a place I needed to be
And I had to be on time
Cars they started slowing down
Slowing down in lines
People just kept honkin'
Honk, honk for miles
Stared out the window
'Bout as far as I could see
I saw a whole lot of nothing
And I sat back comfortably
'Bout the time she rolled that window down
Was about the time it all went wrong
I swear to you, Lord
I'm about to pull this damn wheel off
All I could hear was honk, honk, honk
Hot darn I need some tonk, tonk, tonk
Hey buddy, what's wrong with you?
I got them less honkin' more tonkin' blues
Now if your running down that highway
And you're thinking ninety-nine
If you're late, be late
Unless you're dead, just take your time
All you got to do, bud
Is lay off that horn
Make me stop regretting
That old day I got born
Hey darlin', what's wrong with you?
I got them less honkin' more tonkin' blues
