Driving down on Highway 16
I thought I heard somebody scream
There was something on the windshield
I couldn't see a doggone thing
That's when I heard the siren sing

No time to wonder what he said
Green, yellow, yellow to red
Time to count those voices in my head
Green, yellow, yellow to red
Got a jug full of wine and butter for my bread
Green, yellow, yellow to red
Don't drive so fast, these brakes are bad

In through the outside, out through the in
Around the curve into a spin
I went over the edge at Leopard's Bend
Who's gonna help you now, my friend?

No time to wonder what he said
Green, yellow, yellow to red
Time to count those voices in my head
Green, yellow, yellow to red
Got a jug full of wine and butter for my bread
Green, yellow, yellow to red
So don't drive so fast, these brakes are bad
