[Chorus]
I’m a backseat driver in my own town
I only got one road that I might go down
I'm a passive traveler, ride around
Because the clock keeps ticking and I don’t count for nothing
[Verse 1]
I can't get a grip on my intuition
I hope it don’t lead me nowhere I recognize from the pictures
Making my own decisions like running with safety scissors
And you can loan me the wisdom but I ain’t paying the interest
What’s the deal lately?
Looking on the surface must be real crazy
But I got no compass in these words and I got to feel lazy
So I keep on coasting how I roam like it gon' slow the pain
But if I ain’t careful, then we’ll all run out of novocaine
[Chorus]
I’m a backseat driver in my own town
I only got one road that I might go down
I'm a passive traveler, ride around
Because the clock keeps ticking and I don’t count for nothing
[Verse 2]
I’m a backseat driver
Even with my foot up on the gas, I can press rewind
Take it back, freeze time
Let it dangle like a trapeze line
Did I really throw up that peace sign?
3:30 and burning the street signs
I'm hurtling west but you know I started on the east side
My queen driving me and making a beeline
I can see why nobody giving me free rides anymore
And I ain’t one to hide it, but deep down I’m checking out on autopilot
I don’t navigate, no six ways to Saturday
I’m gonna do it for the aftertaste
Imagine wasting so much time flying past the places
You could die when the path to sainthood’s loaded
Thinking I don’t even have the patience for the journey
Cause I don’t know the destination
[Chorus]
I’m a backseat driver in my own town
I only got one road that I might go down
I'm a passive traveler, ride around
Because the clock keeps ticking and I don’t count for nothing
[Bridge]
I ain’t counting for nothing
I don’t think I can see what’s around the bend
I ain’t counting for nothing
I been here from the start and I’m bound to end
I ain’t counting for nothing
I don’t think I can see what’s around the bend
I ain’t counting for nothing
Nothing baby, nothing baby
Oh no
Break it down now
I’m a backseat driver in my own town
I only got one road that I might go down
I'm a passive traveler, ride around
Because the clock keeps ticking and I don’t count for nothing
[Verse 1]
I can't get a grip on my intuition
I hope it don’t lead me nowhere I recognize from the pictures
Making my own decisions like running with safety scissors
And you can loan me the wisdom but I ain’t paying the interest
What’s the deal lately?
Looking on the surface must be real crazy
But I got no compass in these words and I got to feel lazy
So I keep on coasting how I roam like it gon' slow the pain
But if I ain’t careful, then we’ll all run out of novocaine
[Chorus]
I’m a backseat driver in my own town
I only got one road that I might go down
I'm a passive traveler, ride around
Because the clock keeps ticking and I don’t count for nothing
[Verse 2]

Nothing baby, nothing baby
Oh no
Break it down now
