Nanci Griffith
Swervin’ in My Lane
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing
'Cause sometimes all my days are filled with rain
As I travel down life's highway
Things ain't going my way
'Cause there's always someone swervin' in my lane
[Chorus 1]
You keep a-swervin' in my lane
And it's causing' lots of danger
I'm a-honkin' on my horn
I'm a-shootin' you the finger
I keep a-switchin' on my bright lights
But you're just too dim to know
When your swervin' on life's highway
You're runnin' someone off the road
[Verse 2]
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 can't believe I could not see
You're all tanked up, but no one's at the wheel
[Chorus]
You keep a-swervin' in my lane
And it's causin' lots of danger
I'm a-cussin' out your name
I'm a-shootin' you the finger
I keep a-switchin' on my bright lights
But you're just too dim to know
When you're swervin' on life's highway
You're runnin' someone off the road
[Verse 3]
When and if I ever finally pass you
Oh, when I do and if I'm still alive
I won't never see you
'Cause I'm rippin' out my rearview
And I'm shifting it on into overdrive
[Chorus 3]
But you're still swervin' in my lane (Swerve to the right)
And it's causing lots of danger (You cross the center line)
I'm a-stompin' on the foot feed ([?] me)
I'm a-shootin' you the finger (I wish you'd lost your keys)
I keep a-switchin' on my bright lights ([?])
But you're just too dim to know (You were a fool to drive your car)
When you're swervin' on life's highway
You're runnin' someone off the road
