Lyrics
Verse 1
You jump in front of my car when you
know all the time that
Ninety miles and hour, girl, is the speed I drive
You tell me it¡¦s alright, you don¡¦t mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a ride
 
Chorus
You¡¦re just crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I dont need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And Im tryin to get on the other side of town
 
Verse 2
I¡¦m not the only soul who¡¦s accused of hit and run
Tire tracks all across your back
I can see you had your fun
But darlin¡¦ can¡¦t you see my signals turn from green to red
And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead
 
Chorus
Solo
Chorus again with a few Yeah babys¨ and Yeah, look outs¨
 
Slide up /          Hammer H
Slide down \        Pull off P
