As I Drive by the Fields

You've heard a song like this before, haven't ya?
You think I'll say, "I'll run red stoplights for ya"
"Just to getcha home so we can eat us some dinner"
But that's just not the case

See, I'm what they call an upstanding citizen
Which means I obey laws and I ain't quitting 'em
There are stop signs and speed limits for a reason
So listen to me

All these songs sing about breaking laws for you
But just for you, I won't
When my speedometer hits 70 and I get a text from my pappy
I will resist the urge to send a text immediately
I'll keep my eyes on the road, and my hands on the wheel
'Cuz, darling, you know, that's just how I feel
Love-induced criminal activity, I don't see the appeal
Obeying traffic laws as I drive by the fields
Obeying traffic laws as I drive by the fields

True love has no bounds they say
Think I agree, but on the highway
I think it's far more respectful to keep my eyes on the road
'Cuz I don't wanna us end up alongside those dead armadillos

So darling, understand, why I won't take your hand
When my hands are supposed to be at ten and two
My four wheels will stay on the ground 'till the end
It's all because I do truly love you

All these songs sing about breaking laws for you
But just for you, I won't
When my speedometer hits 70 and I get a text from my pappy
I will resist the urge to send a text immediately
I'll keep my eyes on the road, and my hands on the wheel
'Cuz, darling, you know, that's just how I feel
Love-induced criminal activity, I don't see the appeal
Obeying traffic laws as I drive by the fields
Obeying traffic laws as I drive by the fields

Love-induced criminal activity, I don't see the appeal
Obeying traffic laws as I drive by the fields
Obeying traffic laws as I drive by the fields
