A                   D           A
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing
A                       E                    A
'Cause sometimes all my days are filled with rain
A                                D
As I travel down life's higway, things ain't going my way
               A              E             A
'Cause there's always someone swervin in my lane

A                         D                              A
You keep a swervin' in my lane and it's causing' lots of danger
                    E                            A
I'm a honkin' on my horn, I'm a shooting you the finger
                         D                                       A
I keep a switchin' on my bright lights, but your just too dim to know
A                           E                                      A
When your swervin' on life's highway, your running someone off the road

The day you drove away I thought I never
Could love another. How else could I feel?
But now when you run into me, I cain't believe I could not see
Your all tanked up, but no ones at the wheel

You keep a swervin' in my lane and it's causin' lots of danger
I'm a cussin' out your name, I'm a shooting you the finger
I keep a switchin' on my bright lights, but your just too dimm to know
When your swervin' on life's highway, your running someone off the road

When and if I ever finally pass you
Oh when I do and if I'm still alive
I want never see you, cause I'm ripping out my rearview
And I'm shifting it on in to overdrive

But your still swervin' in my lane and it's causin' lots of danger
I'm a stompin' on the foot feed, I'm a shooting you the finger
I keep a switchin' on my bright lights, but your just too dimm to know
When your swervin' on life's highway, your running someone off the road
