[Intro]
(Yeah,  yeah)
Buckle up - here we go again!

[Verse 1]
You’re just a backseat referee
Screaming “slow down!” constantly
Got your GPS degree
In hypocrisy
And anxiety

You’re clutchin’ doors, you’re flappin’ lips
Critiquin’ all my turns and drifts
“Use your blinker!” “Watch that curb!”
You never stop
You’re the traffic cop

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you
Think you drive the best
But you’ve never passed the test
Yeah, you
Are just
A honkin’ loud mouth with a safety vest

[Chorus]
You make me twitch
You make me swear
You’re white-knuckled
Breathing through my hair
You say “Too fast!”
Then “Why so slow?”
Just close your eyes, enjoy the road

You kill the vibe
I change the track
You reach across to take the map
Stay in your lane
You’re just the backseat

[Verse 2]
You gasp at bugs, you flinch at signs
You plan my route like it’s a crime
You stomp the floor like there’s a brake
But you’re not in charge
I can park this car

You quote some YouTube “driving tips”
You think you’re Clarkson when you quip
You yell at red lights like they’ll shift
Oh, give me peace
Let me find release

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And you
Should’ve walked instead,
Or maybe bought a moped,
‘Cause you
Are banned
From sitting anywhere near the headrest, man!

[Chorus]
You make me twitch
You make me swear
You’re white-knuckled
Breathing through my hair
You say “Too fast!”
Then “Why so slow?”
Just close your eyes, enjoy the road

You kill the vibe
I change the track
You reach across to take the map
Stay in your lane
You’re just the backseat

[Instrumental - blinker sounds and heavy sighing]
([muttered] “oh my, stop talking”)

[Bridge]
You really are a parking pest
Every drive’s a stress test
You're a joke, not a guide
Super loud, full of pride
“Signal early!” — thanks, I’ll pass,
Your driving tips can kiss my gas!

[Final Chorus]
You make me twitch
You make me swear
You’re white-knuckled
Breathing through my hair
You say “Too fast!”
Then “Why so slow?”
Just close your eyes, enjoy the road

You kill the vibe
I change the track
You reach across to take the map
Stay in your lane
You’re just the backseat

[Outro]
You’re just the backseat
You’re just the backseat
“Hey, you missed the exit!”
(I meant to.)
