The third version of backup is now coming to fruition. Here is the first draft of the song three lovely backup singers will sing to me from the backseat of a PT cruiser while I drive in rush hour traffic: It's 5 pm Friday and we're goin nowhere fast
If they cut ahead of you your patience might not last
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from living
no, no, no, no...
Flip on your right blinker to get into your lane
And move your head slowly avoid sharp neck pain
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from feeling
no, no, no, no...
The radio won't help you, it's not commercial free
Try to picture all these cars as part of the vast sea
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from hearing
no, no, no, no...
Roll down your window for a clean breath of fresh air
Crack it open slowly so you won't destroy your hair
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from breathing
no, no, no, no...
Stare at all these people tucked safe inside their cars
Wave at one or all of them to make the day less hard
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from seeing
no, no, no, no...
Keep sufficient distance to the car ahead
Ten feet or more - the DMV recommends
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from controlling
no, no, no, no...
Your exit is coming up, less than a mile
Put on that happy face, show us your smile
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from laughing
no, no, no, no...
Check your rear view mirror for others behind
And all those other spots including the blind
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from panicking
no, no, no, no...
Signal, be cautious, turn into the right lane
to that driver behind you - the one without a name
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from knowing
no, no, no, no...
You've made it, your free, to drive a little faster
Smoothly up the ramp like a automotive master
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from playing
no, no, no, no...
Accelerate gently to preserve precious fuel
Don't rev the engine like a teenage Jersey tool
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from wanting
no, no, no, no...
Pull into your driveway and turn off the car
You've made it home safely though it wasn't very far
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from bleeding
no, no, no, no...
Sure you'd rather ride a horse to get your ass on home
But this is modern living for homosapions
You go beep beep
This traffic won't stop you from driving
no, no, no, no...
