Liner Notes

#filk #humor #silly

For the #mundane_topic challenge. Just a silly little song about Los Angeles traffic.

Also, 14th song. Yay.

Lyrics

(4/4, moderate strumming)
Capo 2
Verse 1
C G
Bumper-to-bumper on the four-no-drive
Am Em
How many times has it been?
F C
Stuck in traffic, trying to get
G
Over to the exit lane
C G
But the guy next to me won’t budge an inch
Am Em
He thinks we’re in a race
F C
Even though the traffic is moving
G C
At maybe a turtle’s pace

CHORUS
F C
Rush hour traffic on the 405
G Am
And I can’t find a way
F
Out of this hell
C
I have to tell you
G C
I wish I never moved to L.A.

Verse 2
Crawling along on the 91
As the sun begins to sink
Even the carpool lane’s backed up
And I didn’t even think

Did I look at the clock before I left?
Of course I didn’t, no
And now I’m stuck on the 91
As the sun begins to go

CHORUS 2
Rush hour traffic on the 91
And I can’t find a way
Out of this hell
I have to tell you
I wish I never moved to L.A.

Verse 3
There was an LA Valentine I saw one day
And now I know it’s true
It said “I love you so much I’ll take the 91
To the 5 to the 22”

But now I get it; I’ve been here a while
Angeleno love songs are true
If someone’s going to drive that route
They’re a keeper, they’re the one for you!

CHORUS 3

Rush hour traffic in the Valley
And I can’t find a way
Out of this hell
I have to tell you
I wish I never moved to L.A.

Rush hour traffic in the Valley
And I can’t find a way
Out of this hell
I have to tell you
I wish I never moved to L.A.

This is a fun number for sure. Nice strumming and what sound like some heartfelt lyrics. I don't envy you having to endure that every day. Thanks for posting
