Although the title refers to Grand Funk Railroad’s greatest hit, this is a totally different song. Simple, softly-sung lyrics reffering to car accidents and low quality pop-culture are followed by extended guitar drones, making this pretty much an excellent example of what YLT is about.
[Verse 1]
Driving in South
The motor's on fire
Let's put it out
Before the flames go higher
[Verse 2]
Monday matinee
Big Bully or White Squall
So hard to choose
Wish we could see them all
[Verse 3]
Some college in the spring
The sound is all wrong
We set the mains
To our favorite Hootie song
[Verse 4]
Driving, not again
An eight car crash
We'll turn to look
Unless we're going too fast
[Instrumental Outro]
