Well the rules of the road they're postered everywhere you go
From New York City to San Francisco
But you people keep a speedin' just as fast as you can go
And a payin' no attention at all to the rules of the road

Well if your foot's a little heavy on a gas then you would better listen
You better slow it down buddy or you will soon be a missin'
You better read and obey all the rules of the road it's true
Cause the life you save just might belong to you

Well the rules of the road...

[ guitar ]
Well if you had a little tidy for a bottle then you'd better not drive
You better stay in home and drink if you aim to stay alive
Cause drinkin' and drivin' well buddy that's a mighty big load
And what you hear is loosy while you can't read the rules of the road

Well the rules of the road...
And payin' no attention at all to the rules of the road
