driving lessons occupational hazard - countryduet 251107

Brakes and gas, a delicate dance Your knuckles white with tension "Slower on the turns," I say As you ignore all my mentions You merged without signaling again I close my eyes and pray My clipboard shakes in trembling hands Will we survive the day? (Chorus) And if a hundred-ton truck Crashes into us Because you missed that stop sign there To die by your side Is not a poetic demise It's just my occupational hazard It's just my occupational hazard (Verse 2) Check your blind spot, please That cyclist nearly died "Easy on the gas," I plead As my life flashes before my eyes You're scanning Tiktok and Spotify While approaching yellow lights I stamp my phantom brake As we drift across three lanes (Ad lib: "HANDS AT 10 AND 2!") (Bridge) And in the afterlife We'll still be stuck together You'll still be taking lessons For all eternity Parallel parking in purgatory Three-point turns in the void (Ad lib: "No, no, COUNTER-steer!") Verse 3 I teach defensive driving You drive quite offensively That light post jumped out of nowhere If you survive your test next week It will be the miracle of the year (Chorus) And if a school bus crashes into us Because you can't yield right of way To die by your side Is not what I had planned It's just my occupational hazard It's just my occupational hazard (Ad lib: "Did you check your mirrors?") Outro So take your foot off the gas And use your indicators, please Because I've got five more students today And I'd like to make it home alive My dog is expecting me I'd like to make it home alive... My dog needs to pee I'd like to make it home... "Let's try that again..."
