Verse 3
When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer. 
And I can't get get my car out of second gear. 
What used to take two hours now takes all day. Huh! 
It took me 16 hours to get to L.A. 

Chorus

I can't drive... 
(I can't drive 55!) 
I can't drive... 
(I can't drive 55!) 
I can't drive 55!
