Lyrics
I get up outta bed there’s a hurt in my head
Musta been the night before
I gotta focus now I gotta find my keys
I think they’re somewhere here on the floor
I gotta get out the door gotta get out the door
Gotta hit that 405
I gotta get on the road gotta get on the road
Gotta get in my car and drive
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
That guy up ahead he ain’t got no brains
Got his signal on but he won’t change lanes
So now I’m stuck behind this truck
It’s just another picture of my strange luck
I gotta get down the road gotta get between lanes
I gotta make it down to old John Wayne
My baby’s comin’ in at a quarter past ten
She sold me you better not be late again
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
(and drive my blues away)
Now the freeway is lookin’ like a parkin’ lot
It’s been a minute since I moved from this spot
Now what’s that? My baby, she’s sending me a text
The itinerary was wrong she’s coming into LAX
Not what am I supposed to do?
How am I gonna get through?
This LA traffic sure looks like a zoo
I’ll never make it there by quarter past ten
I might not ever see my baby again
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
I want my pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal
Pedal to the metal and drive
