The Lyrics
This song focuses on a young man driving from Nanuet, NY to Woodbridge, NJ on the Garden State Parkway, having to deal with reckless motorists throughout.
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen
They leave me in dismay
Remember this when you're driving
Down the Garden State Parkway
Don't let them hit you in the tail
And yield the right of way
If you're getting off Exit 165, one-sixty-five
If you're getting off at 165
One dude who swerved in front of me
Had license plates from Maine
And someone from Connecticut
Just about drove me insane
If there's a crash in Paramus
You know just who to blame
As you drive past exit 165, one-sixty-five
As you pass Exit 165
Reckless drivers left and right
All these folks are not so bright
Southward leading, swiftly speeding
And giving me quite a fright
There's a crash at mile 158
Traffic's backed up and now I'll be late
Feels like forever, maybe I'll never
Get to Woodbridge on time
Reckless drivers, left and right
The dude in front of me's not so bright
Southward leading, swiftly speeding
Still giving me quite a fright
As I pass through a corner of Newark
I think, "Why are all these drivers jerks?"
They shouldn't be out on the road
Unless they learn to drive
Reckless drivers, left and right
Maniacs who aren't too bright
Southward leading, swiftly speeding
Still giving me quite a fright
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen, they leave me in dismay
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen, they leave me in dismay
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen, they leave me in dismay
They leave me in dismay
Remember this when you're driving
Down the Garden State Parkway
Don't let them hit you in the tail
And yield the right of way
If you're getting off Exit 165, one-sixty-five
If you're getting off at 165
One dude who swerved in front of me
Had license plates from Maine
And someone from Connecticut
Just about drove me insane
If there's a crash in Paramus
You know just who to blame
As you drive past exit 165, one-sixty-five
As you pass Exit 165
Reckless drivers left and right
All these folks are not so bright
Southward leading, swiftly speeding
And giving me quite a fright
There's a crash at mile 158
Traffic's backed up and now I'll be late
Feels like forever, maybe I'll never
Get to Woodbridge on time
Reckless drivers, left and right
The dude in front of me's not so bright
Southward leading, swiftly speeding
Still giving me quite a fright
As I pass through a corner of Newark
I think, "Why are all these drivers jerks?"
They shouldn't be out on the road
Unless they learn to drive
Reckless drivers, left and right
Maniacs who aren't too bright
Southward leading, swiftly speeding
Still giving me quite a fright
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen, they leave me in dismay
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen, they leave me in dismay
Some guys don't drive like gentlemen, they leave me in dismay

good on ya, mate, for using this version of the OS! 5s
I love this. I have to put up every day with cretins in their SUVs cutting in all the time, driving like Snail Man, and some of them have stickers about dog worship, redneck Confederate flag crap, or rapture stickers, or stick figure families. They're inconsiderate, obnoxious with their huge vehicles and they piss me off!
