They feel the stress as they drive.

Verse Chords: Am-C Em-G Dm-F E-E7
Chorus Chords: Slash ambiguously on Am/Dm at the fifth fret
Security guard thinks he's wise
He stare real hard at those foreign guys
She claps her hands as pretty as you please
"They'd never understand if he said 'Freeze!'"
They smile with love but I think they know
If push comes to shove they'll be the first to go
He pats his gun and waves us by
But what scares me is the way we drive
CHORUS: We've been around the world
And we've been around the town
Been a busy boy and girl
And now we can't slow down, we can't slow--
"oh,oh!" she says and points to her brain
I'm left to guess while she changes lanes
Kids on the corner,oh, that's what she means
Inside our heads play out domestic scenes
Without a prayer, without a hope
Without a chance on low-priced dope
No thought, no cause, employment neglected
They fought, they paused, disaster expected
We leave them for dead as we watch in our mirrors
The bumper ahead getting nearer and nearer.
CHORUS:
Pour on the gas to get one car ahead
We're weaving thru traffic with a foot made of lead
Squeeze to the right to be first at the light
Mutter a curse when a horn honks behind
"I think I know him. He's with so-and-so."
She's busy with make-up when it's her turn to go
Her hair, her lips, her thoughts far away
"Let's go to the cottage and stay until Monday."
I slump in my seat, it'll take hours to pack
We'll drive all day, then we'll want to come back
I'd like to defend us but it's very well-known
We'll spend the whole weekend on our cellular phones.
CHORUS: (2x)
