Lyrics

A Fur Coat in the middle of the street
All I can see are four feet
Cars running over it just like me
I remember when it ran free

Chorus:
I said Oh No, Whoa No!
We got go
I said Oh No, Whoa No!
We're moving too slow.

Setting in this traffic Jam
Mysteries of life I can't understand
A girl putting on her make-up
Just ran into my pick-up truck!
Chorus:

Heavy Metal riding the line
Passing cars, and making the time
Motorcycles running free
Passing you and passing me!

Chorus:

A Born Loser, down on his luck
Driving around in his pick-up truck
Hey Born Loser, can't you see
Look in the mirror at reality

Chorus:


I've got to blow this town
Headed north, Montana bound
Got to get a new address
No more pressure, and no more stress

Chorus:

A Fur Coat in the middle of the street
All I can see are four feet
Cars running over it just like me
I remember when it ran free
End:
I said Oh No, Whoa No!
We got go
I said Oh No, Whoa No!
We're moving too slow.
I said Oh No, Whoa No!
We got go
I said Oh No, Whoa No!
We're moving too slow.
