main street
drivin' down main street today
what do you think i see
a tall hairy dork in an orange jacket
wavin' a sign at me
slow down, the sign yells out
road constuction ahead
i must've got up on the wrong side of bed
again
this happens every single day
they're fixin' up our town
look out for that pothole buddy
it's a long way down
i guess i'm bein' impatient
it's only been five years
since a man could handle drivin' down main street
without drinkin' seven beers
take me away
there's gotta be a better way
to pave a road
main street, you get me down
what has happened to you
tell me was it somethin' that i said
main street, don't slow me down
quit it, no more detours
before i put a bullet through my head
you're not the main street that i used to know
now you've got me lookin' for somewhere else to go
there is no alternate route
there is no way out
we have to put up with it
makes me want to shout
someday they'll finish makin' our town a better place to live
but until then it's give and take
they take and we give
take me away
there's gotta be a better way
to pave a road
main street, you get me down
what has happened to you
tell me was it somethin' that i said
main street, don't slow me down
quit it, no more detours
before i put a bullet through my head
you're not the main street that i used to know
now you've got me lookin' for somewhere else to go
i guess it's for our own good
yeah right
