One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!

Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no

So I tried my best illegal move

A big black and white come and crushed my groove again

Go on and write me up for one twenty five

Post my face, wanted dead or alive

Take my license, all that jive

I can't drive fifty five

Oh no! Uh!

So I signed my name on number twenty four, hey!

Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more, uh!

I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"

Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"

I said "Yeah! Oh yeah!"

Write me up for one twenty five

Post my face, wanted dead or alive

Take my license, all that jive

I can't drive fifty five

Oh, yeah!

I can't drive fifty five

I can't drive fifty five

I can't drive fifty five

I can't drive fifty five

Uh!

When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer

And I can't get my car out of second gear

What used to take two hours now takes all day

Huh, it took me sixteen hours, get to L.A.

Go on and write me up for one twenty five

Post my face, wanted dead or alive

Take my license, all that jive

I can't drive fifty five

No, no, no, I can't drive

(I can't drive fifty five)

I can't drive

(I can't drive fifty five)

I can't drive fifty five

(I can't drive fifty five)
