[Verse 1] White line, two lanes Morning in my mirror You drifted fast Like you had nowhere to be I had my load And a full day of miles Then you slid in close Like the road was yours and me [Pre-Chorus] Brake lights flash red I grip that wheel tight One bad move And we both pay tonight Man, I been out here Too long to pretend Every second counts When the blacktop bends [Chorus] Hey Mr migrant driver Why did you cut me off (Why did you cut me off) Hey Mr migrant driver Don’t make that hard stop (Don’t make that hard stop) Stop causing accidents On this long flat road Hey Mr migrant driver Keep it in your lane, go slow [Verse 2] Coffee gone cold By the county line Fuel gauge low And my nerves wore thin You waved one hand Like it was nothing at all But I saw my trailer shake And my heart go in [Pre-Chorus] Brake lights flash red I grip that wheel tight One bad move And we both pay tonight Man, I been out here Too long to pretend Every second counts When the blacktop bends [Chorus] Hey Mr migrant driver Why did you cut me off (Why did you cut me off) Hey Mr migrant driver Don’t make that hard stop (Don’t make that hard stop) Stop causing accidents On this long flat road Hey Mr migrant driver Keep it in your lane, go slow [Bridge] We all got rent We all got debt We all got somebody Counting on us yet So ease up, brother Let the hammer rest One more turn like that And we’re both in a mess [Final Chorus] Hey Mr migrant driver Why did you cut me off (Why did you cut me off) Hey Mr migrant driver Don’t make that hard stop (Don’t make that hard stop) Stop causing accidents On this long flat road Hey Mr migrant driver Keep it in your lane, go slow (Keep it in your lane, go slow)
