[Verse 1]
I get excited
To drive to work
And find tranquility
While in the verse
Backing up
I took the car out
To get something to eat
No time for backing up
I do that when I leave
Pulling in
I used to pull right in
Before I knew
Sometimes [the wander?] road
Is easier to do
[Chorus]
Backing up is getting up and at 'em
Every single day
I just want to get outside
And stretch my little legs
You're not listening
You're not listening
To anything I say
You've got it wrong
You bite your tongue
Leave me alone
You better run
Don't ever talk to me that way
[Verse 2]
I get excited
To drive to work
And when I get there
I go there first
Wait just a goddamn minute (La la la)
You're tellin' me
That backing up
Don't make it easier to leave?
Hey, Bradley? (Whoa oh oh)
Let's not do this (oh oh oh)
Not this again (oh oh oh)
You can back right up off me
I always win
[Chorus]
Backing up is just a metaphor
For how to live your life
You'd better write a metaphor
To find another wife
You're not listening
You're not listening
To anything I say
Quit wasting my time
You've got it wrong
You bite your tongue
Leave me alone
You better run
I'll never ride with you again
