Gridlock
 
 
written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music Inc./BMI 
It's 5:00 P.M. on a weekday, friend 
There's one of me and two million of them 
The whistle blows and the factories close 
There's a million more commuters on the access roads 
The brake lights flash--there's an RV crashed 
I'm in the passing lane going nowhere fast 
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls 
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl 
Gridlock 
Up ahead 
There's a line of cars as far as I can see 
Gridlock 
Goin' nowhere 
Roll down the window, let me scream 
Oh yeah, ain't it a shame 
We're all jammed up at the interchange 
The paramedics and the CHP 
Wait impatiently for catastrophes 
I'm spending half my days like this 
I might as well be working on the midnight shift 
The radio's tuned to the traffic news 
And everybody's choking on monoxide fumes 
Gridlock 
Up ahead 
 
There's a line of cars as far as I can see 
Gridlock 
Goin' nowhere 
Roll down the window, let me scream 
I can close my eyes and dream 
I can close my eyes and dream 
I can close my eyes and dream 
It's 5:00PM on a weekday, friend 
I'm going home but I don't know when 
I hate this traffic and I hate this town 
Gotta honk my horn, try to get around 
I feel like going on a killing spree 
Tomorrow I'm going on the RTD 
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls 
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl 
Gridlock 
Up ahead 
There's a line of cars as far as I can see 
Gridlock 
Goin' nowhere 
Roll down the window, let me scream 
I can close my eyes and dream
