Backseat Driver Songtext
von Jersey Calling

I watched you crawl into your Cadillac
Like a womb or a tomb for your broken back
Carrying your purse like it meant something
For all to see
And you′ve gone frail and you're slightly hunched
Choking on your lingering smoker′s lungs
And I'm still cowering in the back seat
On every car ride
I used to, I used to lie to you
I used to, I used to lie to myself too
And the highways all through Jersey
They don't lead south anymore
At best, I′ll just head west
Cuz I can′t stand the fucking shore
Cuz I bleed out every time
I bleed out every time I see you
I'm told to be grateful and I′m told to be meek
But I can't remember all the times I turned my cheek
And now you′re surprised by my tone when I speak
Or that I speak at all


And all of the sudden now you're aggrieved
You might not recover from this injury
But you′ve left me bleeding out in the back seat
On every car ride
I used to, I used to lie to you
I used to, I used to lie to myself too
And the highways all through Jersey
They don't lead south anymore
At best, I'll just head west
Cuz I can′t stand the fucking shore
Cuz I bleed out every time
I bleed out every time I see you
I used to, I used to lie to you
I used to, I used to lie
I used to, I used to lie to you
I used to, I used to lie to myself too
And the highways all through Jersey
They don′t lead south anymore
At best, I'll just head west
Cuz I can′t stand the fucking shore
Cuz I bleed out every time
I bleed out every time
I bleed out every time I see you
