Waking up to the clock radio
Tuned to a talk news show
Part of the job, 'cause one never knows
Where a conversation might go
bu*ton your shirt
Straighten your tie
Stop to see what the mirror may spy
Seeing your breath, you wipe down the car
Vacuum the seats and the floorboards inside
What's the corner shop?
Where's the best place to go?
Where's the restaurant
Only rich people know?
All of the shortcuts
And all of the roads
Who would prefer to go slow
These are things a driver ought to know
She's a real beauty
And you're at your best
You weave through the traffic
The girl is impressed
Talking like equals
You're making time
Then she asks you if you'll wait outside
What's the corner shop?
Where's the best place to go?
Where's the restaurant
Only rich people know?
All of the shortcuts
And all of the roads
Who would prefer to go slow
These are things a driver ought to know
Pulling off to the side of the turnaround
You're waiting in line
And you don't mind
Say you don't mind
What's the corner shop?
Where's the best place to go?
Where's the restaurant
Only rich people know?
Where's the baker's shop?
Who's in town for a show?
Where's a restaurant
Only locals would know?
Gossip and wedding cakes
Who's always running late
Who would prefer to go slow
These are things a driver ought to know
