Story Behind The Song

DRIVING THE FREEWAYS AROUND LOS ANGELES

Song Description

SINGER IS CUT OFF AND WATCHES THE FEMALE DRIVER AS SHE GETS IN A BIT OF TROUBLE ON THE FREEWAY

Lyrics

L. A. FREEWAY WOMAN

SHE WAS ROLLIN' DOWN THE FREEWAY IN HER BRIGHT RED SUV;
SLIPPED INTO THE LEFT LANE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME;
LOOKED IN MY DIRECTION....NEVER SAID A WORD;
SMILIN' LIKE A DEMON....FLIPPIN' ME THE BIRD.
PEDAL TO THE METAL, SHE WAS MOVIN' ON;
BIG GUST A' SMOKE AN' SHE WAS ....GONE.

(CHORUS):
L. A. FREEWAY WOMAN; EVERYBODY KNOWS,
YOU CAN'T SEE HER COMIN'; WHOA, THERE SHE GOES.
HOTTER THAN A PISTOL...COLDER THAN ICE;
L. A. FREEWAY WOMAN BURNIN' UP THE NIGHT.

I CONTINUED DOWN THE FREEWAY IN MY BEAT UP PICK UP TRUCK;
ST. CHRISTOPHER BESIDE ME JUST TO BRING ME LUCK;
THEN, AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, WE WOULD MEET AGAIN;
FRONT TIRE LIKE A PANCAKE ON HER STAINLESS STEEL RIM.
I SCREECHED TO A STOP...ASKED IF I COULD BE OF HELP;
SHE SAID, "I DON'T NEED YA' MAN, I CAN DO IT BY MYSELF".

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
SO I JUST SAT AN' WATCHED HER ....YA KNOW, SHE WAS RIGHT!
THEN I WATCHED HER TAIL LIGHTS FADE INTO THE NIGHT;

THIS OLD PICKUP TRUCK IS PICKIN' UP, ROLLIN' DOWN THE HILL;
SHE'S MOVIN' OUT AHEAD OF ME LIKE I WAS STANDIN' STILL;
BLUE LIGHTS FLASHIN' UP AHEAD...NOW WHAT HAS SHE DONE?
THAT L. A. FREEWAY WOMAN'S GOT A TROOPER ON THE RUN.

(CHORUS)
